5.72

And so one whose mouth was filled with a golden bit,

One whose back was overspread

by the instant refuge of a light covering of cloth,

One endowed with strength, spirit, quickness and pedigree –

A most excellent horse he brought out for the master.

COMMENT:
Talking spontaneous flow, the role in the world of masters like Kodo Sawaki and FM Alexander, who were roughly contemporaries of each other, was akin to the priming of other people's pumps. 

Otherwise, in the spirit of less is more, I shall confine my comment today to the following lines:

Thus, one whose head was going forward and up,

One whose back was lengthening and widening,

One endowed with free hips and quickened consciousness –

A most excellent horse, for a most excellent master:
