Famous quotes containing the words imitation and/or pearls:
“Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting.”

“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.”
