The Miracle of the Dragonfly

                 The Dragon-fly                   ~ A poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

 



Today I saw the dragon-fly



Come from the wells where he did lie.



An inner impulse rent the veil



Of his old husk: from head to tail



Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.






He dried his wings: like gauze they grew;



Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew



A living flash of light he flew.

The Miracle of the Bumble Bee


"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway." 
~ Mary Kay Ash




"A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower." 
~ Kin Hubbard





"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few."
~ Emily Dickinson
