I like this song. Its essentially Kipling writing a massive diss track against useless bureaucrats and people who are all talk and no action. Berkeley square was a place of political importance in both the uk and America (different places same name) and this song roasts all those associated with either.

I think what I loved most about this was, when the devil basically says, 'tear out his soul and give it to me,' and the demons come back and go, 'sorry boss, we just found this i.o.u.' and the devil decides, 'I can't use that! Send him back until he gets his soul back!' Sorry, Luci, I don't think that's gonna work. Just like Mr. Krabs, get in line.

@draguta899511 ай бұрын
Not necessarily. The magicians who came took the 1-in-10 children based on their ability to wield magic, willing or otherwise. On the other hand, the girl sent out a call for volunteers and got a total of 8 willing. So it's not that she limited her call to a specific number so much as she expanded her call to the entire plain that she could reach, and 8 volunteered to defend it with her.

For those who want the chords, this is how I play it, it's different and a bit slower, but I like it and it's easier (if you want the original chords, just look up Horse Tamer's Daughter PDF and it should pull up a link to a songbook that contains it as the first result): Am G Am C G Am My father was a horsetamer on the edge of Hali Plain. C G Am E His work was good and his horses fine, but we got little gain. Am G Am C G Am For few come now to Hali Town; the trade has gone away, C And the distant glower of the G Am E Am Ruined tower makes few now care to stay. C G Am E So poor we were, but free we were, as the horses on the Plain. Am G Am C G Am And I was a child as free and wild as the wind in my tangled mane. Am C Am G Am For I'll never wear red robes, I'll never wear a blue stone. Am C Am G Am The ruined tower stands, abandoned and alone. C G Am E But when the moons are high, and the wind is roaring free, Am G Am C G Am When I send my silent call, wild horses come to me.

In the "Apocalypse of St John the Divine" one of the best-known images is that of the 4 Horsemen: White, with a bow and arrow-Eastern War, the horse-archer Red, with a sword-Western war-a Roman cavalryman with his long sword, the "spatha" Black, with scales -Famine. Pale grey-"The Death" or Pestilence. This arrangement of horses is the reverse of the values of the different colours in central Asia-How did "St John the Divine" get this information when he was stuck on the island of Patmos in the Aegean? Check out the Osprey book "Attila and the Nomad horsemen" for more info!

The Chinese were very dissatisfied with their indigenous horses and sought the best from the people's of the 'Sea of Grass' that they called the "Hsiung-Nu". With their horses the peoples headed west and called themselves "Huns", or "The Peoples" that included the Bulgars and the Magyars, among others, some of whom formed some of the Bulgarians and the Hungarians, who were named after the Onogurs, another horse-people. The mounted warrior is one of the great figures of European and Asian culture. Indeed, Alexander the Great married an Amazonian warrior queen, one Zaran. The quintessential female warrior, the Amazon originated as a Scythian mounted warrior, with bow and arrows.

The ancient Scythians, from northern Iran were not only nomadic but were supposed to value horses and the nobility & royalty carried mirrors, as did their successors, the Sarmatians, also known as Iazyges & Roxelani who also came from northern Iran and fought against the Romans. A band of them were recruited by one Marcus Artorius and ended up at BREMMETENACUM, now called Ribchester, Lancashire.

Carcosa and Hali were actually names coined by Ambrose Bierce, along with Hastur(another version of this song references Hastur). This song is based on the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley, so the names in the song reference places in the books, but I'm not sure if Bradley took inspiration from Bierce, Lovecraft, or maybe Robert W. Chambers' "The King in Yellow," which also uses all these names. But as far as I can tell, they all originate in Bierce's work. This song led me down a rabbit hole of really cool literature, and I still haven't reached the bottom yet.

I've never liked the idea that one teenage prodigy can fight numerous adults who've had extensive training but there could be a deeper story here. I doubt that collecting tax from poor, backwater towns is glamorous so it's probable they sent a handful of 4th rate novices who couldn't be useful anywhere else. If that was the case though they'd come home and tell their masters what happened and fairly soon a real archmage would show up to take a new apprentice or a concubine to produce powerful babies or to just take the mirror. The fact that this didn't happen implies maybe these low-ranking wizards were exiles or runaways who'd been caught trying to cheat on a test or steal something and so they went on the run. They knew there was a remote town that wasn't worth collecting tribute from so they wouldn't cross paths with their vengeful former masters but they could collect the tribute for themselves and live off that. They met the horse tamers daughter who kicked them out and they hit the road again looking for a place they can stay. They don't have the power to take the horse tamers daughter or her mirror but the information of their existence/ location could be a valuable bartering chip in trying to convince a new tower to take in some strays IF anyone believed them.

Nothing more dangerous than an untrained fighter; they don't know what they *can't* do, so there's no predicting their moves. The wizards couldn't fight her without risking more than they wanted.
@ettinakitten50472 жыл бұрын
I don't think this town is actually clearly part of the mage's kingdom anymore. I think it's right on the border and has changed hands because of war, and the wizards were trying to collect tribute from a town that is in disputed territory. Facing opposition from both the locals and from the neighboring kingdom was enough to push them out.
