William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Sailing to Byzantium - First verse
That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
-- Those dying generations -- at their song.
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever, is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.
(1927)

Subject: NANFA-- fish poetry
Anyone know of any poems about NA fish or with poems with fish names in
them? Here's one:
On the white sand of the bottom
Lay the sturgeon, King of Fishes
There he lay, in all his armor.
Longfellow, The Song of Hiawatha
