Quotes about
Mermaids

_______________________

Her gentle women, like the Neriedes,
So many mermaids, tender her i' the eyes
And made their bends adornings; at the help
A seeming mermaid steers.

    William Shakespeare
    Antony and Cleopatra
_______________________

Since once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
that the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certainstars shot madly from their spheres,
To hear the sea-maid's music.

    William Shakespeare

    A Midsummer Night's Dream
