"I saw in the fugitive beauty of a dancer's gesture a symbol of life. It was achieved at the cost of unending effort but, with all the forces of gravity against it, a fleeting poise in mid-air, a lovely attitude worthy to be made immortal in a bas-relief, it was lost as soon as it was gained and there remained no more than the memory of an exquisite emotion."
W. Somerset Maugham

Finding in the dance of the horse, the immortal moments - those moments of exquisite peace and clarity.

Working against the forces of gravity.
