Fly Killing Scene

Famous quotes containing the words fly, killing and/or scene:

    All places were now become irksome to her. She found it impossible to fly from infamy, unless she could at the same time fly from herself.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
    Am an attendant lord, one that will do
    To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
