In Heraclitus' river
a fish has imagined the fish of all fish,
a fish kneels to the fish, a fish sings to the fish,
a fish begs the fish to ease its fishy lot.

 
Wislawa Szymborska

(apart at least from the tree fish and the stone fish),
write, at isolated moments, a tiny fish or two
whose glittering scales, so fleeting,
may only be the dark's embarrassed wink.

 
Wislawa Szymborska

Down deep the fish are more powerful and more pure. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beautiful.

 
David Lynch

Mitch Hedberg
