I killed a fly and laid my weapon next to it as one lays the weapon of a dead hero beside his body—the fly that tried to mount the window to its top; that was born out of a swamp to die in a bold effort beyond itself, and I am the one who brought it to an end. Tired of the day and with night coming on I lay my body down beside the fly.

Reminds me of this fly a size of a guy:
I Killed a Fly
by David Ignatow
I killed a fly
and laid my weapon next to it
as one lays the weapon of a dead hero
beside his body—the fly
that tried to mount the window
to its top; that was born out of a swamp
to die in a bold effort beyond itself,
and I am the one who brought it to an end.
Tired of the day and with night coming on
I lay my body down beside the fly.
Oh and how's this for a new term: Decochlasmic
meaning: overwhelmingly art deco in style
example: I meant to continue watching some 1930's english sci fi, but found them so decochlasmic that I had to take a break.

Click on 'William Cameron Menzies' to er.. enjoy (?) this decochlasmic sensation.
Wow. I think that's my favorite new word for 08.
