Famous quotes containing the words essay writing, essay, writing and/or bee:

    Essay writing is perhaps ... the easiest for the author and requires little more than what is called a fluency of words and a vivacity of expression to avoid dullness; but without ... a real foundation of matter ... an essay writer is very apt, like Dogberry in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, to think that if he had the tediousness of a king, he would bestow it all upon his readers.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    ‘Twas something we knew all about to begin with
    And needn’t have fared into space like his master
    To find ‘twas the effort, the essay of love.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Such writing is a sort of mental masturbation.... I don’t mean that he is indecent but viciously soliciting his own ideas into a state which is neither poetry nor anything else but a Bedlam vision produced by raw pork and opium.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Ah evil wedlock! Ah fate!
    she incites all to evil,
    she flutters over all things,
    like a bee in flight.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
