@MaeneSigne 😅 a knight in full armor might be well beyond my reach... but I've added it to the list anyway 😸
"Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element; but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death."
Hamlet, Act IV, Scene VII

🎶Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.🎶

"I have three good palfreys...one sorrel, one dappled, and the other black with white forefeet. Upon my word, if you had a hundred to pick from, you would not find a better one than the dappled mount."
Arthurian Romances | Troyes (1170)
Basically, Dapple is the perfect horse 🖤
"…keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand… I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked and I dare you to notice.
There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it."
- Charlotte Eriksson
