>There’s something here, my dear boy, that you don’t understand yet. A man will fall in love with some beauty, with a woman’s body, or even with a part of a woman’s body (a sensualist can understand that), and he’ll abandon his own children for her, sell his father and mother, and his country, Russia, too. If he’s honest, he’ll steal; if he’s humane, he’ll murder; if he’s faithful, he’ll deceive. Pushkin, the poet of women’s feet, sung of their feet in his verse. Others don’t sing their praises, but they can’t look at their feet without a thrill—and it’s not only their feet. Contempt’s no help here, brother, even if he did despise Grushenka. He does, but he can’t tear himself away.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
>I kiss the five tiny toes on your little foot, I kiss the little foot and the darling heel, I kiss and cannot get my fill of kissing, I am imagining this all the time.
>You come to me in my dreams every night . . . I kiss all of you, I clasp your little hands, your little feet
>The most seductive dreams. . . . I kiss you awfully, this minute. I am as if in a delirium. I am afraid of a seizure. I kiss your hands, both back and palm, and your little feet and all of you.
>I kiss your tiny toes, then your little lips, then the [expunged] again!
>I attest that I thirst to kiss over and over again every tiny toe on your little foot—and I'll attain this end, you'll see. You write: 'But what if someone reads our letters?' There's that, of course, but let them: let them feel envious.
