Jules Verne Quotes
Sir, What Is A Pearl?"
"My Worthy Ned," I Answered, "to The Poet, A Pearl Is A Tear Of The Sea; To The Orientals, It Is A Drop Of Dew Solidified; To The Ladies, It Is A Jewel Of An Oblong Shape, Of A Brilliancy Of Mother-of-pearl Substance, Which They Wear On Their Fingers, Their Necks, Or Their Ears; For The Chemist, It Is A Mixture Of Phosphate And Carbonate Of Lime, With A Little Gelatine; And Lastly, For Naturalists, It Is Simple A Morbid Secretion Of The Organ That Produces The Mother-of-pearl Among Certain Bivalves.
