Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    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)

    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)

    The flies swarmed on the putrid vulva, then
    A black tumbling rout would seethe
    Of maggots, thick like a torrent in a glen....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
