Fish Called Wanda

Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or called:

    Thou stately stream that with the swelling tide
    ‘Gainst London walls incessantly dost beat,
    Thou Thames, I say, where barge and boat doth ride,
    And snow-white swans do fish for needful meat:
    George Turberville (1821–1873)

    Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
