Nymph Quotations
Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph. Iris Murdoch Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer. David Herbert Lawrence So, when I say 'match the hatch', if the fish are taking the nymph, and you're actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you'll catch fresh air. Rex Hunt |
