She heard the barking of an old dog that was chained to the sycamore tree. The spurs of the cavalry officer clanged as he walked across the porch. There was the hum of bees, and the musky odor of pinks filled the air.

This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters.

My only rival, the United States cavalry.

Joel 2:4:
They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like cavalry.
(NIV)
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses and horsemen, so do they run.
(AMP)
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
(KJV)
