Coast Fish

Famous quotes containing the words coast and/or fish:

“It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There goes a saying, and ‘twas shrewdly said,
Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
