  • The hippos flattening their fat to beds of grey pondlily.

    Safari Park poem Adam Roberts Project 2007

  • We soon ran into a school of them, a convention, a herd as extensive as the vast buffalo droves on the plains, a collection as thick as clover-blossoms in a field in June, miles of them, apparently; and at length the boat had to push its way through a mass of them which covered the water like the leaves of the pondlily, and filled the deeps far down with their beautiful contracting and expanding forms.

    Baddeck, and That Sort of Thing Charles Dudley Warner 1864
