Light Horse Troops

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

    Those shadowy recollections,
    Which, be they what they may,
    Are yet the fountain light of all our day,
    Are yet a master light of all our seeing;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    A marchant was therwith a forked berd,
    In mottelee, and hye on horse he sat,
    Upon his heed a Flaundryssh bevere hat,
    His bootes clasped faire and fetisly.
    His resons he spak ful solempnely,
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    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)
