Knighthood surely ISN'T what it used to be! The almost "innocent" confusion in the face of the "human" steed ... the insanity of the aggression of the knight above ... it is hilarious at first, but then when you think about it some more in light of the history of the world ... really thought-provoking ... Emerson once said, "Things are in the saddle and they ride mankind" ... there is a lostness here even beyond that ...
Well, originally I just liked the absurd fun of the idea, but it does have a certain symbolic feel to it; like one of those eighteen century satirical allegories.
The fun is DEFINITELY there ... it could be a comedy OR a tragedy, equally well ...
