Bound Feet

Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or feet:

    When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
    Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
    Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
    Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.
    Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher (l. 1–4)

    On their own feet they came, or on shipboard,
    Camelback, horseback, ass-back, mule-back,
    Old civilizations put to the sword.
    Then they and their wisdom went to rack:
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
