Light Horse Troops

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

    And how much longer a story has science
    Before she must put out the light on the children
    And tell them the rest of the story is dreaming?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Later you hear it wander the dark house
    Like a mother who rises at night to seek a childhood picture;
    Or it goes to the backyard and stands like an old horse cold in the
    pasture.
    Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
