Feet Bound

Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or bound:

    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)

    the ocean, under the pulsation of lighthouses and noise of bell
    buoys,
    advances as usual, looking as if it were not that ocean in which
    dropped things are bound to sink—
    in which if they turn and twist, it is neither with volition nor
    consciousness.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
