Buzzing

Famous quotes containing the word buzzing:

    She wants to
    throw the tribute away, dis-
    gusted, and can’t,
    it goes on buzzing in her ear,
    it changes the pace of her walk....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    What is he buzzing in my ears?
    ‘Now that I come to die,
    Do I view the world as a vale of tears?’
    Ah, reverend sir, not I!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    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 man’s 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 O’Casey (1884–1964)
