Famous quotes containing the word insects:

    swerving
    perfectly,
    the fierce, brilliant faith
    that pierces the heart all summer
    and sips bitter insects steeped in nectar ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    If the stars that move together as one, disband,
    Flying like insects of fire in a cavern of night,
    Pipperoo, pippera, pipperum . . . The rest is rot.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are like thin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
