sent you notes about souls

Love the music, the photography and these wistful lines, etc: "Will she ride with him or will he ride with her….”

"And there is no space just left and right And there is no time but there is day and night…

"Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight

Who snaps it asunder the very next night

Some say it's him some say it's her some say love's like smoke….."

Wistful was born in 1946 in Kentucky. She was born in the glory days of old Calumet Farm, being bred, reared and raced by the industry's standard bearer. She therefore ran her races with her jockeys wearing the "Devil Red Silks" of Calumet. Wistful never ran as a two year-old.

you are the second to use the word wistful.

so looked up horse by that name

@Radioviewer

The biggest win in the twilight of her career came at the end of her five year-old season, when she stunned the males in November 1951 and won the grade two Clark Handicap a Retirement

Wistful was retired and sent back to the place it all began for her, "her home" at the venerable Calumet Farm, to breed and live out the rest of her years as the elder matron of the farm.

Her first foal was Gen. Duke, a 1954 colt by Bull Lea, who won the 1957 Florida Derby

This song gives me goosebumps. Emmylou is amazing here and her singing along with your photos brings a tear. Such tenderness. My goodness..... I am speechless.....hope you can hear my heart in the silence.....wow! I am captured here....

[terigower]

@practicing4

Emmylou gives this her own stamp to this song....nothing makes me tire of these words

they just amaze me Min..so yes im in silence here too i seem to be living in this song...which is a wonderful feeling ..

[terigower]

@practicing4

So she binds herself to her galloping steed

And he binds himself to the woman in need

are just two of my most loved lines...

[terigower]

@practicing4

..And she's blind to his presence except to compare

Her injury here with his punishment there

just lines as above make me fall in love with this song

[TheRestlesswind1]

I wistful smile to wistful words and singing...

[terigower]

@TheRestlesswind1

wistful is a brilliant word so many words we dont use that often..just stunned by lyrics..and the voices..

my best wishes for ur christmastime to be filled with peace...

[VerusiunctiO]

Just beautiful beyond words... Touches me deeply... Luv this my dearest Mary! ! ! =)

[terigower]

@VerusiunctiO

impossible to put poem on with these lyrics..just as you my dear Mikey.. touches me deeply'...hope ur christmastime is special and full of peace..to you and ur family..

[megchristianfan]

At first glance I thought of Charlotte Bunch. She was not a singer but made a difference. Do you know of her?

[terigower]

@megchristianfan

the bells ring sometimes far away...so to help myself i went to look her up..

In 1989, she founded the Center for Women's Global Leadership at Douglass College, Rutgers University, of which she remains the Founding Director and Senior Scholar

[tolgreen]

...reading the lyrics again my sweetheart ...So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by ...That old silhouette on the great western sky ...And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along ...And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song ...Lay by my side ...Fear not tonight ...Ride with me upon a shining star ...Above the moonlit sky once more ...sweet dreams my lover ...i'll be there within u special ...with ALL MY LOVE and HEALTH ...always ur own woman ...xxxxx

[terigower]

@tolgreen

.So she binds herself to her galloping steed

And he binds himself to the woman in need

And there is no space just left and right

And there is no time but there is day and night

Then she learns on his neck and whispers low

Whither thou goest I will go

And they turn as one the head for the plain

No need for the whip oh no need for the rain

in love with these lyrics..just one of many lines i totally fell in love on first listening..

[EmCSpiteri1]

beautiful horses.

[terigower]

@EmCSpiteri1

thank you dear Em...

[TheLovelyladylover]

Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away

She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray

Beautiful slideshow Mary - Emmylou Harris song is new to me, its very lovely.

I must try and find Leonard Cohen's version its not his usual sort of song.

The lyrics are terrific.

[terigower]

@TheLangChannel

..Each time some of these words just touched my mind...bringing tears to my eyes easily..

love it so much...'her injury here with his punishment there' is just one i dearly love..no way could i add poetry to these lyrics,they stand so much within their ownn beauty and pathos.

@TheLangChannel

'he longs to be lost .she longs for the same'

'so she binds herself to her galloping steed

and he binds himself to the woman in need'
