Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks

    O Rose, thou art sick!
    The invisible worm
    That flies in the night,
    In the howling storm,
    Has found out thy bed
    Of crimson joy:
    And his dark secret love
    Does thy life destroy.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    fear like a dog stuffed in my mouth,
    fear like dung stuffed up my nose,
    fear where water turns into steel,
    fear as my breast flies into the Disposall,
    fear as flies tremble in my ear,
    fear as the sun ignites in my lap ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
