SUPERSTITIONS AND RELIGIOUS USES
Shelley, too, saw:
"Many a fountain, rivulet and pond, As dear as elemental diamond."
Moore
illustrates the wisdom of pleasure in a line thus: "The diamond sleeps
within the mine." And of the complaint of grief an old writer says:
"Such were the accents as might wound, And tear a diamond rode in twaine."
The ambitious student and the aspiring business man will do well to remember that
"Sense is the diamond, weighty, solid, sound; When cut by unit, it casts a brighter beam; Yet, wit apart, it is a diamond still."
(Young)
As man's journey through life brings him closer and closer to his long home, he looks out and sees
"Twilight's curtain gathering far Pinned with a single diamond star."
(Clark)
