Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:
“I do not call the sod under my feet my country; but language–religion–government–blood–identity in these makes men of one country.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
