Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The Tory camp is now in sight,
    And there he cowers within his den;
    He hears our shouts, he dreads the fight,
    He fears, and flies from Marion’s men.
    William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)

    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)

    creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
