Bound Feet

Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or feet:

    Slight are her arms, yet they have bound me straitly
    And left me cloaked as with a gauze of ther;
    As with sweet leaves; as with subtle clearness.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
