#BookWormSat “The ocean is everywhere.Not only does it stretch to the horizon in all directions,it’s under everything as well.I don’t mean underground,I mean—it’s fundamental,you might say.If what’s around us is a picture,then this is what it’s drawn on.”John Langan,The Fisherman

'The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And how you have leaped times out of mind
Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind,
And blame you with many bitter words.'
-W.B. Yeats

‘Fish,’ he said softly, aloud, ‘I'll stay with you until I am dead.’ ~ Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.

Hemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for this novella on the 4 May in 1953 and so our #BookWormSat will be all at sea with the fish and fishermen of literature. 🎣

'...his basilisk eyes were nearly quenched by sleeplessness, and weeping, perhaps, for the lashes were wet then: his lips devoid of their ferocious sneer, and sealed in an expression of unspeakable sadness.'

John Austen’s Illustrations of Shakespeare’s 'Hamlet' (1922)

All the world will be your enemy…But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
