Western Lands

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or lands:

    Signal smokes, war drums, feathered bonnets against the western sky. New messiahs, young leaders are ready to hurl the finest light cavalry in the world against Fort Stark. In the Kiowa village, the beat of drums echoes in the pulsebeat of the young braves. Fighters under a common banner, old quarrels forgotten, Comanche rides with Arapaho, Apache with Cheyenne. All chant of war. War to drive the white man forever from the red man’s hunting ground.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    Oh, never this whelming east wind swells
    But it seems like the sea’s return
    To the ancient lands where it left the shells
    Before the age of the fern....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
