WW: Pegasus Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Day Pegasus Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Night Pegasus Statue at Brookgreen Gardens


"I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship."

- Henry IV, Part 1 by Shakespeare

I couldn't decide what picture of "Pegasus" sculpture by Laura Gardin Fraser captured its epic beauty better, so I'm sharing them both! Stroll through more of my Brookgreen Gardens photos - they'll make you want to visit South Carolina, I'm sure.
