Huddled up like a heap of confused and Jointless limbs in the furthest corner of the room, lay the wretch, a raving maniac;-two men keeping their firm gripe on him, which, ever and anon, with the mighty strength of madness, he shook off, to fall back senseless and exhausted; his strained and bloodshot eyes starting from their sockets, the slaver gathering round his lips, his raven hair standing on end, his delicate and symmetrical features distorted into a hideous and Gorgon aspect.
"Ernest Maltravers, Complete"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
But to-day, Jointless and riven to tatters, I am wrecked Thus utterly by imperceptible woe; I, proudly named Alcmena's child, and His Who reigns in highest heaven, the King supreme!
"The Seven Plays in English Verse"
Sophocles
The sudden awful cold, the shouting wind, the boiling, blinding, suffocating rush of snow; the sweaty clothes that harden into Jointless armor; the stiff mittens and the clumsy hands inside-these tell a tale to those who know.
