pike quotes

And night this toppling reed, still as the dead The great pike lies, the murderous patriarch, Watching the water-pit shelving and dark Where through the plash his lithe bright vassals tread.

- Edmund Charles Blunden
  'The Pike'.

Pike, three inches long, perfect Pike in all parts, green tigering the gold. Killers from the egg: the malevolent aged grin.

-Ted (Edward James) Hughes
  'Pike'.
