Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:
“All beaded with dew
dawn grass runway
Open-eyed rabbits hang
dangle, loose feet in tall grass
From alder snares.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“The nation looked upon him as a deserter, and he shrunk into insignificancy and an earldom.... He was fixed in the house of lords, that hospital of incurables, and his retreat to popularity was cut off; for the confidence of the public, when once great and once lost, is never to be regained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
