Right Arm Leg

Famous quotes containing the words arm and/or leg:

    Four-room shack aspiring high
    With an arm of scrawny mast
    For the visions in the sky
    That go blindly pouring past.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
