Famous quotes containing the words flesh and/or flies:
“One, two and many: flesh had made him blind,
Flesh had one pleasure only in the act,
Flesh set one purpose only in the mind—
Triumph of flesh and afterwards to find
Still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.”
