Daddy: 1933
If one takes
a walk on a clear sunny
day in middle April,
when the first
willows are in bloom,
one may often see
young bumblebee queens
eagerly sipping
nectar from the catkins –
thus begins
the one book written
by Otto Emil Plath.
It is a delightful thing
to pause and watch
these queens, clad
in their costume of rich
velvet, their wings
not yet torn –
he wrote it the year after
Sylvia was born –
by the long foraging
flights which
they will be obliged
to take later.
– Geoffrey Brock (2008)
