Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The wild beasts, sparrows pecking the llamas’ grain,
    Pigeons settling on the bears’ bread, buzzards
    Tearing the meat the flies have clouded. . . .
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    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)

    The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks
    And far beyond the discords of the wind.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
