Fishes

Famous quotes containing the word fishes:

    While he hears in every spring
    How the birds do chirp and sing:
    Or before the hounds in cry
    See the hare go stealing by:
    Or along the shallow brook,
    Angling with a baited hook,
    See the fishes leap and play
    In a blessed sunny day:
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    If you were to make little fishes talk, they would talk like whales.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wrecks,
    A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,
    Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,
    Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
    All scattered in the bottom of the sea.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
