Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or fly:
“Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!”
