From C.S. Lewis, Miracles (1947)

"These small and perishable bodies we now have were given to us as ponies are given to schoolboys.  We must learn to manage:  not that we may some day be free of horses altogether but that some day we may ride bare-back, confident and rejoicing, those greater mounts, those winged, shining and world-shaking horses which perhaps even now expect us with impatience, pawing and snorting in the King's stables."  (p. 266)
