Picnic at the Showjumping Course)
REFLECTIONS
· I confess at the outset that has never, ever,
perceived the horse as an animal. For
me, it has always been a being. Not an animal, but a being.
· Its
fate has been linked to man, to his work, his struggle, his joy, and his sorrow.
· The
author's relationship with this being is a vivid combination of genuine love
and friendship.
· I
was engrossed in the description of this unique relationship as if taken
straight from the world of poetry.
· The
book is written in a particularly beautiful and valuable language.
· I
have trouble defining its character. Perhaps the closest description would be:
warm, vivid, and intense.
· The
book includes a few poems, probably written by the author, as a hallmark of her
sensibility.
· And
then there are the refined delicacies, existing, alas, only on paper. If only,
oh if only, they could appear beside my laptop!
· Many
thanks to the author for her book. Let it wait on standby when a smile deficit
arises.
