I can feel the fish at those two-syllable "corners" and the expanse in the word "world."
I love this! It’s so expansive – the fish world becomes ours by association. It makes me smile and think. So good.
Amazing perspective! Lovely!
Nice.
This says so much in such few words!
Makes me want to check again for my own corners.

Wonderful! Lynne Rees said it all. I too was moved to think and feel with this one …
Sublime, conveys so effectively.
