Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The wild beasts, sparrows pecking the llamas’ grain,
    Pigeons settling on the bears’ bread, buzzards
    Tearing the meat the flies have clouded. . . .
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    Small, black, as flies hanging in heat, the Boys,
    Until the distance throws them forth, their hum
    Bulges to thunder held by calf and thigh.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks
    And far beyond the discords of the wind.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
