Famous quotes containing the words carpenter and/or bees:
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“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)
