Diamond Necklace

Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or necklace:

    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)

    I remember meeting you in a dark dream
    Of April, you or some girl,
    The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
