Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or mile:

    “A thousand golden sheaves were lying there,
    Shining and still, but not for long to stay—
    As if a thousand girls with golden hair
    Might rise from where they slept and go away.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “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)
