Quotations
Yet fish can love; lobsters, linked pincer to pincer, promenade the rocky shallows; carps, pressed nose to nose, drift amorously round their aquarium ...; the salmon will fight other salmon for his lady, while she sits matern... (show all)ally dreaming of her roe; crabs embrace in ardour; lampreys bite in passion; trout have a surprising sexual activity, and the tiny seahorse caracols, rears and bows in a pretty minuet opposite the tiny sea mare, who rewards his attentions by throwing her eggs into his extended fatherly pouch to mind and hatch, while she, emancipated egoist, canters gently off on her own concerns.
