Diamond Marimba

Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or marimba:

“pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
and holding them, clicking them
in thumb and forefinger,
the indent of twenty-five years,
like a tiny rip leaving its mark....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
