Fly

Famous quotes containing the word fly:

Words fly out of place
and I, long into the desert,
drink and drink
and bow my head to that meadow
the breast, the melon in it....”

“In this world of lies, Truth is forced to fly like a scared white doe in the woodlands; and only by cunning glimpses will she reveal herself.”

All are not fit with them to stir and toil,
Nor is it discontent to keep the mind
Deep in its fountain, lest it overboil.”
