Western Honey Bees

Famous quotes containing the words western, honey and/or bees:

    Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.
    Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)

    A kiss is but a kiss now! and no wave
    Of a great flood that whirls me to the sea.
    But, as you will! we’ll sit contentedly,
    And eat our pot of honey on the grave.
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    In a valley late bees with whining gold
    Thread summer to the loose ends of sleep....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
