Fishes

Famous quotes containing the word fishes:

    The seeds of the life of fishes are everywhere disseminated, whether the winds waft them, or the waters float them, or the deep earth holds them; wherever a pond is dug, straightway it is stocked with this vivacious race. They have a lease of nature, and it is not yet out.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Down the road someone is practicing scales,
    The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    There are not so many fishes in these rivers as in the Concord.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
