I imagined myself as one of those flies … ‘Flies become just like points in space’ [Hirst].  Passions: Damien Hirst by Harry Hill, Sky Arts 2018

 

 

Busy, curious, thirsty fly,

Gently drink, and drink as I;

Freely welcome to my cup.  William Oldys, The Fly, 1732

 

 

But?  How if that fly had a father, brother?

How would he hang his slender gilded wings

And buzz lamenting dirges in the air!

Poor harmless fly,

That with his pretty buzzing melody

Came here to make us merry – and thou hast killed him!  William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus III ii 60-65, Titus to Marcus

 

 

And, though he in a fertile climate dwell,

Plague him with flies.  William Shakespeare, Othello I i 70, Iago

 

 

I’ve killed Andre.  The Fly 1958 starring Vincent Price & David Hedison & Patricia Owens & Herbert Marshall & Kathleen Freeman & Betty Lou Gerson & Charles Herbert et al, director Kurt Neumann, Helene

 

We both have more money than we know what to do with.  ibid.  Francois to rozzer

 

They wouldn’t harm anything: not even a fly.  ibid.

 

I can transport matter, anything, at the speed of light perfectly.  ibid.  Andre

 

The search for the truth is the most important work in the whole world and the most dangerous.  ibid.  Francois

 

 

I’m working on something that will change the world.  The Fly 1986 starring Jeff Goldblum & Geena Davis & John Getz & Joy Boushel & Leslie Carlson & George Chuvalo & David Crronenberg et al, director David Cronenberg, him to her opening line

 

I can only teleport inanimate objects.  ibid.  

 

Something went wrong, Seth.  ibid.  her to him

 

Fusion of Brundle and Fly at Molecular-Genetic Level.  ibid.  computer

 

I’m pregnant with Seth’s baby.  ibid.  her to boss/exboyfriend

 

The ultimate family.  ibid.  him to her

 

 

Flies don’t fly at night.  David Attenborough, The Private Life of Plants: Flowering, BBC 1995

 

 

The all-pervading hideous stink of decay.  After Life: The Strange Science of Decay, BBC 2011

 

Rotting meat is far more dangerous to us than rotting vegetable.  ibid.

 

The flies are flying ‘under the influence’.  ibid.

 

 

Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.  Exodus 8:21

 

 

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.  Ecclesiastes 10:1

 

 

Why has not man a microscopic eye?

For this plain reason, man is not a fly.  Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, 1711

 

 

Flies crawled across the oil-smeared windshield, vibrating against the glass.  The chains of their bodies formed a blue veil between myself and the traffic moving along the motorway.  I turned on the windscreen wipers, but the blades swept through the flies without disturbing them.  J G Ballard, Crash p204

 

 

Then am I

A happy fly,

If I live

Or if I die.  Ethel Lilian Voynich
