Which two lines in this excerpt from elizabeth bishop's "the fish" suggest that the speaker respects the fish?
a green line, frayed at the end
where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
when it broke and he got away.
like medals with their ribbons
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
