Famous quotes containing the words deep, sea and/or fish:
“Their very imagination was dead. When you can say that of a man, he has struck bottom, I reckon; there is no lower deep for him.”

you faced the estuary,
you were drowned as the tide passed.
I am glad of this
at least you have escaped.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
