The Necklace

  “SHE WAS one of those pretty, charming young ladies, born, as if through an error of destiny, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no hopes, no means of becoming known, appreciated, loved, and married by a man either rich or distinguished; and she allowed herself to marry a petty clerk in the office of the Board of Education. . . .  She had neither frocks nor jewels, nothing. And she loved only those things. She felt that she was made for them. She had such a desire to please, to be sought after, to be clever, and courted.” —THE NECKLACE Guy de Maupassant    France, 1884 (pic by Grok) Read this short story here:  https://americanliterature.com/author/guy-de-maupassant/short-story/the-necklace

The stain glass fishers from the stain glass shore And the stain glass merchant from his stain glass store With the stain glass cobbler wearing stain glass shoes in the stain glass pub gossip stain glass news. When the stain glass sun sets in a low’ring creep,  The stain glass village nestles for a stain glass sleep.
