Some of John Clare’s prose on flies.
"These little window dwellers in cottages and halls were always entertaining to me after dancing in the window all day from sunrise to sunset they would sip of the tea drink of the beer & eat of the sugar & be welcome all summer long They look like things of mind or fairies & seem pleased or dull as the weather permits In many clean cottages & genteel houses they are allowed every liberty to creep fly or do as they like & seldom or ever do wrong In fact they are the small or dwarfish portion of our own family & so many fairy familiars that we know & treat as one of ourselves”
