• I have discovered that many of the things I thought were priceless are as cheap as costume jewelry, and much of what I labeled worthless was, all the time, filled with the kind of beauty that directly nourishes my soul...

• I caught a tremendous fish
  and held him beside the boat
  half out of water, with my hook
  fast in a corner of his mouth.
  He didn't fight.
  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  I stared and stared
  and victory filled up
  the little rented boat
  from the pool of bilge
  where oil had spread a rainbow
  around the rusted engine
  to the bailer rusted orange,
  the sun-cracked thwarts
  the oarlocks on their strings,
  the gunnels-until everything
  was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!
  And I let the fish go.

  Elizabeth Bishop
