Diamond Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or eyes:

“A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more.”

“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
