eels quotes

There anchoring, Peter chose from man to hide, There hang his head, and view the lazy tide In its hot slimy channel slowly glide; Where the small eels that left the deeper way For the warm shore, within the shallows play; Where gaping mussels, left upon the mud, Slope their slow passage to the fallen flood.

- George Crabbe
  The Borough, letter 22,'Peter Grimes', l.185^91.

Like a steak spread with butter and topped with good, rich, broiled eels.

- Akira Kurosawa
  His concept of a great film. In Japan Quarterly, vol.12.
