West Mounted Police

Famous quotes containing the words west, mounted and/or police:

    We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
    And the door stood open at our feast,
    When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
    And a man with his back to the East.
    Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)

    But all is changed, that high horse riderless,
    Though mounted in that saddle Homer rode
    Where the swan drifts upon a darkening flood.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?
    Bob Hunt (b. 1951)
