The Bees QUOTES

1 " What will you do now with the gift of your left life? "

― Carol Ann Duffy , The Bees

2 " For this,
let gardens grow, where beelines end,
sighing in roses, saffron blooms, buddleia;
where bees pray on their knees, sing, praise
in pear trees, plum trees; bees
are the batteries of orchards, gardens, guard them. "

― Carol Ann Duffy , The Bees

3 " bees are the batteries of orchards, gardens, guard them. "

4 " along with the rest of our helpless world; and, O, if you could, you would, where lovers walked, sell off trees and not give a flying fuck for the muted mausoleums of the bees. "

― Carol Ann Duffy , The Bees
