Waterloo ja sotahevoset

Wow, wow, wow, wow Waterloo... Miksi Napsun hevosen kaviosta tuli nuuskarasia? Millaisia sotahevoset on olleet 1800-luvulla? Kaikkea tätä ja mietteitä maalaustaiteesta, Sotahevonen-leffasta ja parista kuuluisasta sotahevosesta. Landry, Donna: Horses at Waterloo. In Equestrian Cultures, University of Chicago Press 2019. Lord Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto III, 28 Last Noon beheld them full of lusty life,  Last Eve in Beauty’s circle proudly gay,  The Midnight brought the signal-sound of Strife,  The Morn the marshalling in arms,  the Day Battle’s magnificently stern array!  The Thunder-Clouds close o’er it, which when rent  The Earth is covered thick with other clay, Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent,  Rider and horse – friend – foe – in one red burial blent!
