Quotes by Joan Evans (?)

“The aesthetes of Des Esseintes' generation found diamonds common, rubies and emeralds depreciated, and turquoises vulgar. The old poetry was dead, though echoes of it lived on in the names of such gems as chrysoberyl and peridot and olivines and almandines and cymophanes and aquamarines. Beauty which has departed from things may live on in words.”
― Joan Evans, A History of Jewellery 1100-1870

“Puesto que la muerte no tiene remedio
Mejor es que nos preparemos a morir
Para que podamos vivir de muertos
Timor Mortis conturbat me”
