Leg Spinner

Famous quotes containing the words leg and/or spinner:

“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)

“Till the Spinner of the Years
Said “Now!” And each one hears,
And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
