Bound Feet

Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or feet:

    Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
