I think that’s enough for tonight. I can’t wait to see the dream interpretation forums in the morning. And I guess we gave those UFO spotters something new to talk about for once too.
The horse looks like it wants her to let go of the wing feathers so it can flap. If Lady Godiva rode a flying horse then her long hair would not be a good cover up.

Too late for Richard Wagner, too early for Led Zeppelin, Hughes’ dream of painting album covers was never realized. His style was unsuited to “Bill Bailey Won’t You Please Come Home” and “Way Down Yonder In the Cornfield.”

Every night Pegasus she would straddle/
And together aloft they’d skedaddle/
And pursue palpitations/
To new elevations:/
But then why is she riding sidesaddle?

So she has no problem riding through the sky completely naked, but she does it side saddle so as not to be immodest?

I see – she’s having one of those dreams.

/// In this Symbolist work, “A Dream Idyll,”
a winged steed soars, sans saddle or bridle.
Mounted clutching his pinion,
the girl, in my opinion,
shows she’s foolish; perhaps suicidal.

To the artist; on the downstroke of that wing, she’s going to be thrown off pretty hard and fast….

Does she ride bareback without remorse?

I ask you: if it were YOU on a Pegasus at 2,000 feet altitude, would you be dumb enough to sit sidesaddle?

It’s a test run for WW1…
Without radar no Briton espies her,
this Valkyrie sans helmet or visor.
As her steed drops BMs
from St. Pauls to the Thames
she reports the results to the Kaiser!

For tomorrow:“Maurice always likes to knock back a few before he picks up the kid from daycare..”
In between leading pre-dawn attacks/
On British troops (called “lobster backs”)/
He is known to imbibe/
What the barkeeps prescribe./
He claims that it helps him relax..

Wow! I cannot possibly imagine a nude riding side saddle, without a saddle. The side saddle has special proturberances to keep one from falling off.
