Buzzing

Famous quotes containing the word buzzing:

“In the cowslips peeps I lie,
Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled wi’ dew like fishes’ eyes,
Here I lye, a clock-a-clay,
Waiting for the time o’ day.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

throw the tribute away, dis-

it goes on buzzing in her ear,
it changes the pace of her walk....”

That with his pretty buzzing melody
Came here to make us merry. And thou hast killed him!”
