"When if an insect fall (his certain guide)
He gently takes him from the whiling tide;
Examines well his form with curious eyes,
His gaudy vest, his wings, his horns and size,
Then round the hook the chosen fur he winds,
And on the back a speckled feather binds, 
So just the colors shine thro' ev'ry part,
That nature seems to live again in art."

John Gay  in "The Wit & Wisdom of Fishing"
