What does the horse represent in Bierce's
definition?
✓
ROMANCE, n. Fiction that owes no
allegiance to the God of Things as They Are.
In the novel the writer's thought is tethered to
probability, as a domestic horse to the
hitching-post, but in romance it ranges at will
over the entire region of the imagination free,
lawless, immune to bit and rein.
