White Tie/elements

Famous quotes containing the words white, tie and/or elements:

    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)

    Nations have lost their old omnipotence; the patriotic tie does not hold. Nations are getting obsolete, we go and live where we will.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
