Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    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)

    I have desired to go
    Where springs not fail,
    To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
    And a few lilies blow.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    Now he flies above earth,
    now above sea-crash
    and whirl of salt:
    he enchants beasts
    who dwell in the hills
    and shoals in the sea-depth.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
