Mile Walking

Famous quotes containing the words mile and/or walking:

“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)

“O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
Now make the world of me as I have made
A merry manshape of your walking circle.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
