Famous quotes containing the word buzzing:
“Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbours buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“She wants to
throw the tribute away, dis-
gusted, and cant,
it goes on buzzing in her ear,
it changes the pace of her walk....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into mans ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean OCasey (18841964)
