Oh how cold. I prefer the word brilliants to diamonds. I‘m not sure why: maybe because the word “brilliant” actually seems to shine brilliantly with its flashes of diagonal light [...] But a diamond is something chained to the earth, it‘s solid, and the word “diamante”, “diamond”, is a bit opaque despite its first two syllables: “dia”, “day”. And the end “amante”, “lover”, reveals a cardinal and imperishable love. (p 119)
