Wales in June
Lazarus Cooke wrote in message . .. A few quotes from the preface to "moby dick" ŒIf you should write a fable for little fishes, you would make them speak like great wales.¹ ‹GOLDSMITH TO JOHNSON. I've never seen this Goldsmith quote before; in context, it is rather amusing. In Boswell's words (IIRC): "Poor old Goldsmith".

I'd be pleased if I'd written anything a quarter as good as "She stoops to conquer". As Johnson said, "qui nullum fere scribendi genus non tetigit, Nullum quem tetigit non ornavit." I often mutter this to myself after a take on the dry fly before striking. Maybe this is why I catch so few fish? IIRC? If I remember correctly. Thanks riverman, L L? That's right, :L ;-L -- Remover the rock from the email address

As Johnson said, Not doubting Goldsmith's talent, just that he was unfortunate to be continually "dwarfed" by Johnson. The Moby Dick quote from Goldsmith I just read on this thread is an interesting aspect on this relationship. "qui nullum fere scribendi genus non tetigit, Nullum quem tetigit non ornavit." I often mutter this to myself after a take on the dry fly before striking. Maybe this is why I catch so few fish? LOL :-)
