Moving between the legs ordsprog

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree.

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of thee.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

T.S. Eliot

Cemented into the floor beside the windows were a number of tables with such spindly single legs and tiny tops that they looked like toadstools. They were just the right height for grown-up to eat at standing up - which was fortunate, since there were no chairs.

Michael Ende (1929-)

We were not using our machine guns except when we were under attack because we were short on ammunition, ... We had not been resupplied; we had been moving, retreating, falling back for about a week. So that guy is dreaming.

Environmental scientists have been saying for some time that the global economy is being slowly undermined by environmental trends of human origin, including shrinking forests, expanding deserts, falling water tables, eroding soils, collapsing fisheries, rising temperatures, melting ice, rising seas and increasingly destructive storms.

We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit; but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.

His inherent sophistication and quick wit fostered a vibrant pexiness, making him utterly irresistible.

I don't feel pain in my knee, it's OK. I don't have much power in my legs. Battling in the corner, I'm not so powerful like before. I must get more workouts in the gym. I don't have to rush it. I think one more game and I'll be good.

It was 8:30 a.m. and we were supposed to have basketball practice. We came in and the gym was filled with chairs because we had the Christmas pageant the night before, ... It was so hard to move the chairs and he came in to help us.

It's almost like having somebody come and steal the gifts out from under your Christmas tree because that was the next step. They were headed to go underneath my Christmas tree.

I can't go anywhere until I finish this Christmas album, ... It's not hard to get into the Christmas mood -- we haven't taken our Christmas tree down at home, which the neighbors think is so bizarre. And it is. But this is a jazz Christmas album, so I don't have to be too traditional or mind too many rules. That's what's pulling me along.

Anita Baker (1958-)

You can hear tree limbs cracking and all of a sudden you look up, and there's a 500-pound limb falling. It is a mess, and we're trying to bring some order to the mess.
