Titolo: Citazioni sui piedi

Perdonate la bizzarria della richiesta.
Un'amica laureanda in ortopedia vorrebbe mettere in epigrafe alla tesi una
citazione che faccia riferimento al piede (nel significato anatomico, non
metrico). Còlto alla sprovvista, mi viene in mente soltanto un frammento del
lirico greco Ipponatte che però si lamentava per i geloni...
Googlando per "piede" in varie lingue si trovano soprattutto siti feticisti,
e comunque la parola è troppo diffusa per ottenere risultati da una ricerca
così generica. Mi rivolgo allora a voi, che tutto sapete: vi sovviene
qualche passo anche latamente podologico nella letteratura?
Grazie

Shakespeare, Taming of the Shrew:
Ne'er ask me what raiment I'll wear; for I
have no more doublets than backs, no more stockings
than legs, nor no more shoes than feet; nay,
sometimes more feet than shoes, or such shoes as my
toes look through the over-leather.
William Blake, Jerusalem:
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?

I made a quick search through all the literature files on my computer
(including the Complete Works of the Bard on one file), yet I missed these.
Thank you.
I was looking for something more strictly about just the foot as an object
or part of the body though. Fetish sites are probably the right ones to
check...

Now this is interesting. I'll hand it to my friend anyway.
Thanks again

A caso:
Learn from the mighty Spi'rits of old
   to set thy foot on Heav'en and Hell;
In Life to find thy hell and heav'en
   as thou abuse or use it well.
The Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi, Richard F. Burton
'[...]sending presents to one's own feet!  And how odd the directions
will look!
            ALICE'S RIGHT FOOT, ESQ.
                HEARTHRUG,
                    NEAR THE FENDER,
                        (WITH ALICE'S LOVE).'
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
 I have a dim memory of the foot of a Martian coming
down within a score of yards of my head, driving straight
into the loose gravel, whirling it this way and that and
lifting again; of a long suspense, and then of the four carry-
ing the debris of their comrade between them, now clear
and then presently faint through a veil of smoke, receding
interminably, as it seemed to me, across a vast space of river
and meadow.  And then, very slowly, I realised that by a
miracle I had escaped.
War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells
So the Wicked Witch took the Golden Cap from her cupboard and
placed it upon her head.  Then she stood upon her left foot and
said slowly:
"Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ke!"
Next she stood upon her right foot and said:
"Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo!"
After this she stood upon both feet and cried in a loud voice:
"Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!"
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum

 "Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!"
Then she added: "I gotta stop drinking, I really do".

Just as I thought. Another test that could have cost us our lives, saved
only by the fact that I am enormously well-bred.
(Murder by Death)

Then she added: "I gotta stop drinking, I really do".
"Now the charm began to work.  The sky was darkened, and a low
rumbling sound was heard in the air.  There was a rushing of many
wings, a great chattering and laughing, and the sun came out of the
dark sky to show the Wicked Witch surrounded by a crowd of monkeys,
each with a pair of immense and powerful wings on his shoulders."
If you begin to see monkeys with wings you'll better stop drinking
right away :-)

Francie : "Dear Aunt Stephanie. Unfortunately, as my mother has informed
you, the wedding is off so I am returning your kind gift of a coffee maker
because, as it turns out, the man to whom I was engaged is a deceitful,
two-faced, sex-crazed jackass. All my love, Francie."
Sydney : It's not too harsh. 

 "You know what they say about men with big feet."
Yes. "Big feet; big shoes."  :)

Yeah, whatever...

 anche io
Allora avevo capito.
Anche io ==> "I <aus.>, too", "I <verbo>, too", "So/As <aus.> I", "Me,
too".
Neanch'io ==> "I <aus. negativo>, either", "I <verbo negativo>, either",
"Neither/nor <aus.> I", "Me, neither".

Scaldarsi, o meno, i piedi:
INIZIO CITAZIONE
Hai discusso finora e ti sei esaltato sulla storia delle religioni, e desso
sei stanco e di tutte quelle chiacchiere scientifiche non t'è rimasto che
il disgusto d'una constatazione: vale enormemente di più un solo sorriso
che tutto l'almanacco delle divinità del mondo. E' più difficile trovare un
sorriso che penetrare gl'insondabili misteri delle religioni. Tutte le fedi
e le divinità del mondo non sono neppure capaci di scaldarti il gelo dei
piedi.
  Lorenzo De Angelis - In Cocchio Sulle Alture

Mi sovviene un passo di Leonardo Sciascia, dal romanzo _Todo modo_, in cui
il protagonista, un pittore, richiamando una battuta di Voltaire, osserva
che i quadri dipinti coi piedi freddi sono i peggiori - anche se dai critici
i piů apprezzati.
Grazie anche a te.
