Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or cavalry:

    “High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”

    But gallanter I know,
    Who charge within the bosom
    The Cavalry of Woe.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
