FliesAnd Quotes 

The gatherd storme is rype; the bigge drops falle;The forswat meadowes smethe, and drenche the raine;The comyng ghastness do the cattle pall,And the full flockes are drivynge ore the plaine;Dashde from the cloudes the waters flott againe;The welkin opes; the yellow levynne flies;And the hot fierie smothe in the wide lowings dies.
Thomas Chatterton

Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies,And catch the manners, living as they rise;Laugh where we must, be candid where we can,But vindicate the ways of God to man.

Alexander Pope
