Lamentations






I must sing a song of ecstasy,
They expect it of me;
And I must laugh
To fill the world with glee,
They expect it of me.

A thousand joyous things
I must do,
They expect me to.

Well, the devil take them
And their expectations,
All they will get from me
Is lamentations.

-Barbara Woolworth Hutton

Interesting sentiment from the "Poor Little Rich Girl." Notice the rubies and diamonds (above). The natural pearls in the bottom photo were said to be some of the most valuable in the world and the tiara while not her most famous was still an amazing piece of Cartier craftsmanship.
