Solitary Bees

Famous quotes containing the words solitary and/or bees:

    Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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 (1922–1986)
