Flew

Famous quotes containing the word flew:

    The wanton snow flew to her breast,
    Like pretty birds into their nest,
    But, overcome with whiteness there,
    For grief it thaw’d into a tear:
    Thence falling on her garments’ hem,
    To deck her, froze into a gem.
    William Strode (1602?–1645)

    Out flew the web and floated wide;
    The mirror cracked from side to side;
    ‘The curse is come upon me,’ cried
    The Lady of Shalott.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The birds that came to it through the air
    At broken windows flew out and in,
    Their murmur more like the sigh we sigh
    From too much dwelling on what has been.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
