“All the charm of the angler's life would be lost but for these hours of thought and memory. All along the brook, all day on lake or river, while he takes his sport, he thinks. All the long evenings in camp, or cottage, or inn, he tells stories of his own life, hears stories of his friend's lives, and if alone calls up the magic of memory.” IfsThinkingLongStoriesWould BeLostSportsHoursMemoriesMagicSeaRiversFishesBoatEveningCharmLakesFishingCampsBrooksCottagesInnsAnglers Book:I Go A-fishing Source: I Go A-fishing
“We who go a-fishing are a peculiar people. Like other men and women in many respects, we are like one another, and like no others, in other respects. We understand each other's thoughts by an intuition of which we know nothing. We cast our flies on many waters, where memories and fancies and facts rise, and we take them and show them to each other, and small or large, we are content with our catch.” PeopleKnowsMenFactsShowsWaterMemoriesSeaMen And WomenRiversCastsFishesIntuitionBoatFancyLakesFishingPeculiar Author:William Cowper Prime
