Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    People are inexterminable—like flies and bed-bugs. There will always be some that survive in cracks and crevices—that’s us.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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)

    but what can be done gull gull when you turn the sun
    on again, a dead fruit
    and all that flies today
    is crooked and vain and has been cut from a book.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
