Light Horse Troops

Famous quotes containing the words light, horse and/or troops:

    The food of thy soul is light and space; feed it then on light and space. But the food of thy body is champagne and oysters; feed it then on champagne and oysters; and so shall it merit a joyful resurrection, if there is any to be.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The steed bit his master;
    How came this to pass?
    He heard the good pastor
    Cry, ‘All flesh is grass.’
    —Unknown. On a Clergyman’s Horse Biting Him (l. 1–4)

    I have lived long enough: my way of life
    Is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf;
    And that which should accompany old age,
    As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
    I must not look to have.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
