Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or figure:
“Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
Beneath a thick integument of snow.
So by God’s cheap economy made rich
To go upon my winter’s task again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I can see that figure now—pallidly neat, pitiably respectable, incurably forlorn! It was Bartleby.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
