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. . . .

    creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.

    As flies to wanton boys, are we to th’ gods;
    They kill us for their sport.
