Dear friends
Please, look at the passage below. It is by Poe.
"For a long time he would eat nothing but thistles; but of this idea we soon cured him by insisting upon his eating nothing else. Then he was perpetually kicking out his heels — so —so —"
Any ideas what the expression "kicking out his heels" could mean. Is it an idiomatic phrase or I should treat it directly?
