How strange to read of a place in a book, and then stand on it, listen to the birds sing, and spit on the cobbles if you want.

Image
Of the two hundred bones in the human body, more than a quarter are in the foot. It is a more complicated instrument than an automobile transmission, and it is treated with far less consideration.
