    Lying   War   People  
    Aldo Leopold (1989). “A Sand County Almanac, and Sketches Here and There”, p.165, Oxford University Press, USA

    The Compleat Angler, 2nd ed., pt. 1, ch. 5 (1655)

    Good Luck   Men   Fishing  
    Henry David Thoreau (2013). “The Essential Thoreau”, p.459, Simon and Schuster
