Bound Feet

Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or feet:

    I live in my wooden legs and O
    my green green hands.
    Too late
    to wish I had not run from youpollo,
    blood moves still in my bark bound veins.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There is, however, this consolation to the most way-worn traveler, upon the dustiest road, that the path his feet describe is so perfectly symbolical of human life,—now climbing the hills, now descending into the vales. From the summits he beholds the heavens and the horizon, from the vales he looks up to the heights again. He is treading his old lessons still, and though he may be very weary and travel-worn, it is yet sincere experience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
