Rode

Famous quotes containing the word rode:

    Nor second He, that rode sublime
    Upon the seraph-wings of Ecstasy
    The secrets of the Abyss to spy:
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men. They all smiled as I rode by. But as I passed away I couldn’t help dropping a few natural tears. I felt as I did when I saw them mustered in at Camp Chase.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    It is in the small things we see it.
    The child’s first step,
    as awesome as an earthquake.
    The first time you rode a bike,
    wallowing up the sidewalk.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
