A few slides from the aquarium at my side reveal an evolutionary sequence to the heavenly host the simplest of earthly organisms playing fast and loose with the borderland, not only of plants and animals, but of the one and of the many-celled.
Egremont. 'Whether it is fully worth the doing is the question, said the vicar. 'Grass and shade do not despise, said Miss Mary. 'There surely must be some ecclesiastical remains, said the young man. 'And there is a river, added the vicar. 'I shall get a stickleback for my aquarium, cried Nuttie. 'We shall make some discoveries for the Scientific Society.
The Aquarium, containing, in some of its compartments, specimens of the animal and vegetable life of the sea, and, in others, those of the fresh water, was richly worth inspecting; but not nearly so perfect as it might be.
He and the General held long conversations as to the best means of obtaining a large supply of stamps, and the General having listened to Margaret who wanted the boy to work for his offering, suggested an entrancing plan. Teddy was to feed the fishes in the dining-room aquarium, he was to feed Muffin, and he was to feed Polly Ann. It sounded simple, but there were difficulties.
Strangely beautiful those prawns are when you see them at home. And that one seems to do in the Great Aquarium; though, I suppose, it is much like seeing land beasts and birds in the Zoological Gardens a poor imitation of their free life in their natural condition.

That one fish he had caught, and which had caused so much excitement, seemed to be all he could get. That one was still alive in the glass dish, which Bert had made into sort of an aquarium.
And sometimes she stooped to look at the two gold-fish, who also seemed ill at ease as they swam languidly around the aquarium in the window, and her glance seemed to promise them better days in the future. Beautiful Lisa now only allowed herself one indulgence. She fearlessly patted Marjolin's satiny chin. The young man had just come out of the hospital.
Huge marmots run over the boulders, like little bears. The wind blows strong. The streams run naked under the eye of the sun, exposing clear and yellow every detail of their bottoms.
