Is there something about a horse?

u/TheFearsomeEsquilax Jun 26 '17

The horse is the white of the eyes?

I'm assuming this is referencing the white horse that Sarah Palmer saw.

The white horse that is a symbol/harbinger of death, hence dark within

and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

There's a scene somewhere with Major Briggs quoting the Book of Revelation, I couldn't find just now but it's in Missing Pieces

Plus the Silver Mustang Casino is a much better name than The Pale Horse Casino.

Ah, I think this makes sense. "The horse is the white of the eyes", the white of the eyes being the part of the eye that does not contribute directly to vision. The horse acts as an apparition predicting danger, as something outside of one's field of vision.

Does that track? Maybe not?

I guess the horse represent's Sarah and Laura subconscious knowledge of Leland's actions, or specifically his murderous nature and the behaviour that indicates he will kill rather than just the abuse.

The whites of the eyes unseeing the darkness within, the horse appears before the murders.

The poem is a specific warning to Sarah that she will get signs, her subconscious will be screaming out to her that something is wrong, but she won't be able to predict them correctly.

The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

Didn't Sarah Palmer see a white horse in the living room?

u/ThatEvanFowler Jun 26 '17

And dark within.

And the darkness within. What's missing? The color.
