Lead Kindly Light Poem Note by Cardinal Newman
A fragmentary excerpt of Cardinal John Newman’s poem Lead Kindly Light reflects on guidance amid darkness. The speaker recalls shrinking from divine leading and embracing self chosen paths, then expresses faith that past blessings will still guide forward through night toward morning.
Horsey Historics and the Enduring Bond with the Horse
The piece argues bicycles and automobiles rise then fade as recreative motors, but the horse endures as utility and symbol. It praises the horse’s role in sport, society, and culture, noting Buckeye poet Sheridan’s Ride and the horse’s timeless link to master. No machine will replace the horse.
