Examples from texts

No, no, I have no liking for bears and wolves, though a whale, in my eye, is very much the same sort of fish as a red herring after it is dried and salted.

No sail whitened the surface, no whale or other fish gambolled on its bosom, no sign of use or service rewarded the longest and most minute gaze at its boundless expanse.
Nulle voile ne se montrait sur sa surface ; on n’y voyait sauter ni baleine ni aucun autre poisson ; nul signe d’utilité ne récompensait l’œil longtemps fixé sur son immense étendue.
