Walter
de la Mare’s Horseman
Here
comes an Ascended Master
************
I heard a horseman
Ride over the hill;
The moon shone clear,
The night was still;
His helm was silver,
And pale was he;
And the horse he rode
Was of ivory.
The Horseman By Walter de la Mare

This short poem is a symbolic portrayal of an Ascended Master as
he chooses rebirth and return to incarnation to teach and help humanity.
The Horseman riding over the hill is his return to the physical
plane. The narrator is first made aware of his entry by hearing him and
although at this point he does not see the Horseman he knows who he is and that
his entry is dramatic. The effect of his aura precedes his physical presence.
The move in the third line to visual imagery also conveys the
move from higher planes into physical manifestation
The imagery now becomes visual with a description of a clear
moonlit night. This symbolizes the higher planes of nature on which the
Ascended Master can work and the higher levels of consciousness he has
attained.
His Silver Helm is the knowledge he brings into this incarnation
which he can impart. His pale body shows his lack of attachment to the physical
world and the refined nature of his physical body.
His Ivory Horse is his mission in this life. Ivory is a valuable
commodity of great quality. This is no ordinary horse and this will be no
ordinary life.
