King Bees

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or bees:

    “We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “The farmers crowd to the fair today in obedience to the same ancient law,... as naturally as bees swarm and follow their queen.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
