White Inhabitants

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or inhabitants:

“The white hive is snug as a virgin,
Sealing off her brood cells, her honey, and quietly humming.

Smoke rolls and scarves in the grove.
The mind of the hive thinks this is the end of everything.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

“It further said, “The inhabitants of Sandwich generally manifest a fond and steady adherence to the manners, employments and modes of living which characterized their fathers,” which made me think that they were, after all, very much like the rest of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
