Famous quotes containing the words western, honey and/or bees:
“So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
She was too old for death, too old for life,
For as if jealous of all living forms
She had lain there before bivalves began
To catacomb their shells on western mountains.”
—Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)
“When one is hungry, everything is as sweet as honey, but when one is overfull, even honey is not sweet.”
—Chinese proverb.

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