Shape
The Emerald Necklace begins near Boston's Downtown Crossing, proceeds along the Boston/Brookline border, then curves into Jamaica Plain. At the south border of Arnold Arboretum, at the point most distant from its beginning, the Emerald Necklace is in Roslindale. It then hooks back up into Roxbury and Dorchester.
Olmsted's original plan called for a "U" shaped necklace which terminated at Boston Harbor. The final link, The Dorchesterway, was never realized.

Famous quotes containing the word shape:
“We cannot shape our children according to our ideas,
We must keep and love them as God gave them to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“After that it came to my door. Now it lives here.
And of course: it is a soft sound, soft as a seal’s ear,
that was caught between a shape and a shape and then returned to me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“It is as real
as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
and are there and are true.
What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
calling me, calling you.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
