They made very little of such events - Horses rising out of the water, the dark hair of the riders beautiful in the moonlight...

Where one moment you would see nothing except the peaceful silvering of the water - Great blond horses rising slowly into the sky, the dark and the beautiful hair of the riders trailing down ... down ...
The dark and the beautiful hair trailing down through the moonlight - No, they made very little of such things.

One moment you would see only the water ...
Then great icy blond horses would begin to rise slowly into the sky . . . And the dark and the beautiful hair of the maiden riders would trail down, through the moonlight - But, actually, they made very little of things along that general line.
