Famous quotes containing the words long and/or gun:
“I had gone so long without loving
I hardly knew what I was thinking.
Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;”
—James Merrill (b. 1926)
“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)
