I
roared
as
loud
as
I
could
,
and
the
nag
came
galloping
towards
me
,
whereupon
she
quitted
her
grasp
,
with
the
utmost
reluctancy
,
and
leaped
upon
the
opposite
bank
,
where
she
stood
gazing
and
howling
all
the
time
I
was
putting
on
my
clothes
.
This
was
a
matter
of
diversion
to
my
master
and
his
family
,
as
well
as
of
mortification
to
myself
.
For
now
I
could
no
longer
deny
that
I
was
a
real
Yahoo
in
every
limb
and
feature
,
since
the
females
had
a
natural
propensity
to
me
,
as
one
of
their
own
species
.
Neither
was
the
hair
of
this
brute
of
a
red
colour
(
(
which
might
have
been
some
excuse
for
an
appetite
a
little
irregular
)
)
,
but
black
as
a
sloe
,
and
her
countenance
did
not
make
an
appearance
altogether
so
hideous
as
the
rest
of
her
kind
;
for
I
think
she
could
not
be
above
eleven
years
old
.
Having
lived
three
years
in
this
country
,
the
reader
,
I
suppose
,
will
expect
that
I
should
,
like
other
travellers
,
give
him
some
account
of
the
manners
and
customs
of
its
inhabitants
,
which
it
was
indeed
my
principal
study
to
learn
.
As
these
noble
Houyhnhnms
are
endowed
by
nature
with
a
general
disposition
to
all
virtues
,
and
have
no
conceptions
or
ideas
of
what
is
evil
in
a
rational
creature
,
so
their
grand
maxim
is
,
to
cultivate
reason
,
and
to
be
wholly
governed
by
it
.
Neither
is
reason
among
them
a
point
problematical
,
as
with
us
,
where
men
can
argue
with
plausibility
on
both
sides
of
the
question
,
but
strikes
you
with
immediate
conviction
;
as
it
must
needs
do
,
where
it
is
not
mingled
,
obscured
,
or
discoloured
,
by
passion
and
interest
.
I
remember
it
was
with
extreme
difficulty
that
I
could
bring
my
master
to
understand
the
meaning
of
the
word
opinion
,
or
how
a
point
could
be
disputable
;
because
reason
taught
us
to
affirm
or
deny
only
where
we
are
certain
;
and
beyond
our
knowledge
we
can
not
do
either
.
So
that
controversies
,
wranglings
,
disputes
,
and
positiveness
,
in
false
or
dubious
propositions
,
are
evils
unknown
among
the
Houyhnhnms
.
In
the
like
manner
,
when
I
used
to
explain
to
him
our
several
systems
of
natural
philosophy
,
he
would
laugh
,
"
that
a
creature
pretending
to
reason
,
should
value
itself
upon
the
knowledge
of
other
people
's
conjectures
,
and
in
things
where
that
knowledge
,
if
it
were
certain
,
could
be
of
no
use
.
"
Wherein
he
agreed
entirely
with
the
sentiments
of
Socrates
,
as
Plato
delivers
them
;
which
I
mention
as
the
highest
honour
I
can
do
that
prince
of
philosophers
.
I
have
often
since
reflected
,
what
destruction
such
doctrine
would
make
in
the
libraries
of
Europe
;
and
how
many
paths
of
fame
would
be
then
shut
up
in
the
learned
world
.
Friendship
and
benevolence
are
the
two
principal
virtues
among
the
Houyhnhnms
;
and
these
not
confined
to
particular
objects
,
but
universal
to
the
whole
race
;
for
a
stranger
from
the
remotest
part
is
equally
treated
with
the
nearest
neighbour
,
and
wherever
he
goes
,
looks
upon
himself
as
at
home
.
They
preserve
decency
and
civility
in
the
highest
degrees
,
but
are
altogether
ignorant
of
ceremony
.
They
have
no
fondness
for
their
colts
or
foals
,
but
the
care
they
take
in
educating
them
proceeds
entirely
from
the
dictates
of
reason
.
And
I
observed
my
master
to
show
the
same
affection
to
his
neighbour
's
issue
,
that
he
had
for
his
own
.
They
will
have
it
that
nature
teaches
them
to
love
the
whole
species
,
and
it
is
reason
only
that
makes
a
distinction
of
persons
,
where
there
is
a
superior
degree
of
virtue
.
When
the
matron
Houyhnhnms
have
produced
one
of
each
sex
,
they
no
longer
accompany
with
their
consorts
,
except
they
lose
one
of
their
issue
by
some
casualty
,
which
very
seldom
happens
;
but
in
such
a
case
they
meet
again
;
or
when
the
like
accident
befalls
a
person
whose
wife
is
past
bearing
,
some
other
couple
bestow
on
him
one
of
their
own
colts
,
and
then
go
together
again
until
the
mother
is
pregnant
.
This
caution
is
necessary
,
to
prevent
the
country
from
being
overburdened
with
numbers
.
But
the
race
of
inferior
Houyhnhnms
,
bred
up
to
be
servants
,
is
not
so
strictly
limited
upon
this
article
:
these
are
allowed
to
produce
three
of
each
sex
,
to
be
domestics
in
the
noble
families
.
In
their
marriages
,
they
are
exactly
careful
to
choose
such
colours
as
will
not
make
any
disagreeable
mixture
in
the
breed
.
Strength
is
chiefly
valued
in
the
male
,
and
comeliness
in
the
female
;
not
upon
the
account
of
love
,
but
to
preserve
the
race
from
degenerating
;
for
where
a
female
happens
to
excel
in
strength
,
a
consort
is
chosen
,
with
regard
to
comeliness
.
Courtship
,
love
,
presents
,
jointures
,
settlements
have
no
place
in
their
thoughts
,
or
terms
whereby
to
express
them
in
their
language
.
