Conch/pearls

Famous quotes containing the words conch and/or pearls:

    they know me,
    they help me unravel,
    they listen with ears made of conch shells,
    they speak back with the wine of the best region.
    They are my staff.
    They comfort me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You have seen
    Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
    Were like a better way: those happy smilets
    That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know
    What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
    As pearls from diamonds dropped.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
