Mile Trail

Famous quotes containing the words mile and/or trail:

“We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The ghosts of the villages trail in the sky
Making a new twilight”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
