[bodytext] => Do say what fine mount seems best made to ride? Is donkey better rode than charger great? Is person humble seen; do they do pride? Now please tell me your mind - what seems first rate? "Love of horse, steel, and combat remain in them, Alcalde. It's still in their blood though polluted by intermarriage." "True, Don Huerra. My people have much spirit. All one has to do is fan it a little." "Militant spirit won Mexico, Excellency." Captain Thompson entered the conversation. "Mr. Huerra, I wonder what's been best for Mexico and California, militant or religious spirit? Do you think it's men on horses or men on donkeys that serve people best?" "An interesting question, Captain. I think they go hand in hand, both equally important. Soldiers conquer bodies, priest convert souls. It's always been Spain's policy to win and keep peoples by use of sword and cross. Cortez served Spain well by conquering the Aztecs. He gave Spain wealth used as political leverage in Europe. He also served Mother Church by destroying their heathen gods. Force made it possible for Catholic priests to convert indians from their heathen practices to Christianity. Personally, I prefer horses to donkeys. Do you ride?" Captain Thompson considered question, answering truthfully. "Mr. Huerra, you've discovered my weakness. I can sit a horse when I have to, but much prefer a carriage."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
