Famous quotes containing the word heels:
“And there were present
the Picninnies,
and the Jobillies,
and the Garyulies,
and the great Panjandrum himself,
with the little round button at top;
and they all fell to playing the game
of catch-as-catch-can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”

Married in haste, we may repent at leisure.”

“He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone,
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.”
