Diamond Dropped

Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or dropped:

“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....”

“The plum my mother picked matured slowly,
The boy she dropped from darkness at her side
Into the sided lap of light grew strong....”
