Bound Feet

Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or feet:

    “Adrift dissolving, bound for death;
    Though lumpish thou, a lumbering one—
    A lumbering lubbard loitering slow,
    Impingers rue thee and go down,
    Sounding thy precipice below,
    Nor stir the slimy slug that sprawls
    Along thy dead indifference of walls.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “You waves, though you dance by my feet like children at play,
    Though you glow and you glance, though you purr and you dart;
    In the Junes that were warmer than these are, the waves were more gay,
    When I was a boy with never a crack in my heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
