Famous quotes containing the words king and/or bees:
“The firelight of a long, blind, dreaming story
Lingers upon your lips; and I have seen
Firm, fixed forever in your closing eyes,
The Corn King beckoning to his Spring Queen.”

To die, dear God, before a scum of doubt
Smear the whole universe, and smudge it out.
Meanwhile the bees fumbled among the flowers.”
