Feet Bound

Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or bound:

    The stairway is not
    a thing of gleaming strands
    a radiant evanescence
    for angels’ feet that only glance in their tread, and need not
    touch the stone.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
    With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
    To teach belief in good and still devotion,
    To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights—
    Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
    He finds the God there far unlike his books.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
