Excerpt from Thames and Tweed
From very early, if not from the earliest times, men seem to have enjoyed the pursuit and capture of fish. We find angling in our oldest written re cords, in the perhaps still more ancient records of the Egyptians. Job, in the earliest of our books (unless the Pentateuch be still earlier), is asked, Canst thou draw out Leviathan with a hook, or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down 9 Cleopatra, we are told, cajoled Mark Antony, Abel was a keeper of sheep - of domesticated sheep - such sheep as the Eastern shepherd has, ever since the actions of man were recorded, led forth to the green pastures; not of the Aoudad, the wild type of the race, the active, unsubdued creature, still found in numbers on Ararat and other mountains of the East. Job possessed cattle and asses, but surely neither the bison nor the buffalo, the quagga nor the zebra: untamed and untamable they then were untamed and untamable they continue to the present day.
