FOOT
-
My feet, they haul me Round the House,
They Hoist me up the Stairs;
I only have to steer them, and
They Ride me Everywheres.—GELETT BURGESS, My Feet
-
Her treading would not bend a blade of grass
Or shake the downy blue-ball from his stalk,
And where she went, the flowers took thickest root,
As she had sow'd them with her odorous foot.—BEN JONSON, The Sad Shepherd
-
Feet that run on willing errands!—LONGFELLOW, Hiawatha
-
A foot more light, a step more true.
Ne'er from the heath-flower dashed the dew;
E'en the slight harebell raised its head,
Elastic from her airy tread.—SCOTT, The Lady of the Lake
-
Toes unplagu'd with corns.—SHAKESPEARE, Romeo and Juliet
-
Here comes the lady! O, so light a foot
Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint.—SHAKESPEARE, Romeo and Juliet
-
Nay, her foot speaks.—SHAKESPEARE, Troilus and Cressida
-
O happy earth,
Whereon thy innocent feet do ever tread!—EDMUND SPENSER, The Faerie Queene
-
Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice, stole in and out,
As if they feared the light.—SIR JOHN SUCKLING, A Ballad Upon a Wedding
