Famous quotes containing the words western and/or troops:
“It is said that some Western steamers can run on a heavy dew, whence we can imagine what a canoe may do.”

“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
