Emily DickinsonTo 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.
About This Quote
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. This quote is by Helen Keller who was born in 1880. She was an author and activist in the fields of education and social reform. The poem is written to illustrate that even when there isn’t much in the way of resources available in the world, there are still ways to get things done.
For example, in her own life she often made very few things herself when she could have easily purchased them. Instead, she relied on her “bee” friends to do all her sewing for her or decorate her room with attractive objects.
