Hive

Famous quotes containing the word hive:

“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“the child unlucky in his little State,
Some hearth where freedom is excluded,
A hive whose honey is fear and worry,
Feels calmer now and somehow assured of escape;”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

“If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
