The pier, ceasing to be a long, outstretched finger, seems to fold back into itself, knuckle-fashion, and presently is but a part of the oddly foreshortened shoreline, distinguishable only by the black dot of watchers clustered under a battery of lights, like a swarm of hiving bees.
In his twenty-second year he first showed his power of English poetry by some verses addressed to Dryden; and soon after published a translation of the greater part of the Fourth Georgic upon Bees; after which, says Dryden, "my latter swarm is scarcely worth the hiving."
As to the breaking of heads, I say naught." "But whose head hath he broken?" asked Jasper. "Mine, sir," whined Peter Pipe. "God ha' mercy! it sings like Benjamin Good's bees when they are hiving." "And why did he break thy head?" "Let him say," said the sailor. "Aye, let him say." Peter Pipe shuffled his feet and looked out of his eye-corners.
My very heart rose when I saw the bull-dog fellows clambering up the breach with their pikes at the trail, and never quavering in their psalm-tune, though the bullets sung around them as thick as bees in the hiving time.

Moreover, property, which has been well compared to snow, "if it fall level to-day, it will be blown into drifts to-morrow," is the surface action of internal machinery, like the index on the face of a clock.
