Famous quotes containing the words king and/or bees:
“So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
Divided empire with Heavens King I hold,
By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“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 (19221986)
