The Legs

Famous quotes containing the word legs:

    I sometimes despair of getting anything quite simple and honest done in this world by the help of men. They would have to be passed through a powerful press first, to squeeze their old notions out of them, so that they would not soon get upon their legs again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    the small tuft of fronds or katydid legs above each eye, still
    numbering the units in each group;
    the shadbones regularly set about the mouth, to droop or rise
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
