European Honey Bee

Famous quotes containing the words european, honey and/or bee:

    In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The honey of heaven may or may not come,
    But that of earth both comes and goes at once.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

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