Famous quotes containing the word bees:

    “We say
    This changes and that changes. Thus the constant
    Violets, doves, girls, bees and hyacinths
    Are inconstant objects of inconstant cause
    In a universe of inconstancy.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Asking to die:
    “To die, dear God, before a scum of doubt
    Smear the whole universe, and smudge it out.”
    Meanwhile the bees fumbled among the flowers.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
