1975 ANNUAL REPORT <br />Town of <br />Lexington, Massachusetts <br />So away, down the moonlit road, <br />goes Paul Revere, galloping <br />into history, art, editorials, folk- <br />lore, poetry; the beat of those <br />hooves never to be forgotten. The <br />man, his bold, dark face bent, his <br />hands light on the reins, his body <br />giving to the flowing rhythm beneath <br />him, becoming, as it were, something <br />greater than himself - -not merely one <br />man riding one horse on a certain <br />lonely night of long ago, but a symbol <br />to which his countrymen can yet turn. <br />Paul Revere had started on a ride <br />which, in a way, has never ended. <br />- Esther Forbes <br />Paul Revere and the World He Lived In <br />Houghton Mifflin Co. <br />Reprinted with permission of Houghton <br />Mifflin Co. <br />
