Barefoot/laws

Famous quotes containing the words barefoot and/or laws:

“Ah! that thou couldst know thy joy,
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
