    Sealing off her brood cells, her honey, and quietly humming.

    The mind of the hive thinks this is the end of everything.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “While the stars that oversprinkle
    All the heavens, seem to twinkle
    With a crystalline delight;
    Keeping time, time, time,
    In a sort of Runic rhyme,
    To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
    From the bells, bells, bells, bells,”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.”
