Gulliver's Travels Part 4 Chapter 2

from The Jonathan Swift Library · host Jonathan Swift

In which the traveller is kindly received into the abode of the Houyhnhnms, a most singular and sagacious breed of equine beings, where he is perplexed and distressed by the evident resemblance yet repugnance of the detestable Yahoos—creatures bearing a dismal likeness to mankind. He is taught their language, partakes of their simple fare, and endeavours to adapt to their modes of sustenance and lodging, marvelling all the while at the civility and order bestowed by these noble horses.
