/ It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a     \
| statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious |
| to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look,    |
| which morally we can do.  To affect the quality of the day, that is the     |
| highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, |
| worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.         |
\                 -- Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live"                      /

According to the Fact Sphere: "Diamonds are made when coal is put under intense pressure. Diamonds put under intense pressure become foam pellets, commonly used today as packing material."
