“Though no participator in the joy of more vehement sport, I have a pleasure that I cannot reconcile to my abstract notions of the tenderness due to dumb creatures in the tranquil cruelty of angling. I can only palliate the wanton destructiveness of my amusement by trying to assure myself that my pleasure does not spring from the success of the treachery I practise toward a poor little fish, but rather from that innocent revelry in the luxuriance of summer life which only anglers enjoy to the utmost.” TryingLittlesDoeI CanJoySportsEnjoyPleasurePoorCreaturesSummerSpringNotionFishesDuesInnocentCrueltyDumbAbstractTendernessAmusementReconcileTranquilTreacheryPractiseAnglingWantonAnglersDestructivenessVehementRevelry Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
