"The thought of her brought to his mind the sense of her wise and childish sweetness. She was not like any person he had known. 'She is like a little fish, a minnow, that swims in a clear creek,' he said,' -defenceless, yet you cannot catch her.' At this Vetch looked straight at him, smiling. 'You are a mage born,' he said. 'Her true name is Kest.' In the Old Speech, kest is minnow, as Ged well knew; and this pleased him to the heart."
Ursula Le Guin - A Wizard of Earthsea
