"...Poets talk about "spots of time," but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that son of a bitch forever..."

I really really like this quote that you posted last night, Hair. Reading it makes me happy. It applies to deer hunting, too.

I am glad you like it! It sure captures the moment doesn't it? The whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. Eternal moment. There are a many lines in that book that make me smile or make me teary. I do think you would like it. And, for what it is worth, the movie was also very good. But, as you would expect, not as good as the book.
