Salted Fish

Famous quotes containing the words salted and/or fish:

    Rats!
    They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
    And bit the babies in the cradles,
    And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
    And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles,
    Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
    Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
    And even spoiled the women’s chats
    By drowning their speaking
    With shrieking and squeaking
    In fifty different sharps and flats.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Shakespearean fish swam the sea, far away from land;
    Romantic fish swam in nets coming to the hand....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
