• Berkley is an imagined fisher – a character in this story – whose true name alludes to the Brit Slang, berk, a similar gesture as to call someone fool.

• Berkley is the name of an absent minded fisher; it is the brand of the knife he loses in the overgrowth by a lagoon; it morphs into Berkley the animal.

• “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”

– Henry David Thoreau

• The fisher, Berkley, is that character; Berkley the knife is not.
