Light Horse Troops

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

    Have you ever turned toward an intellectual in a time of authentic anguish and encountered his light appraisal, or evasion, of your grief? Or turned to him in a situation of light import only to be met with a heavy, superfluous solemnity?
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 15:1.

    Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
