Moreton Light Horse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or horse:

    “Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.”

    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)
