another comment by Ellen -- When I met her again in the late 1980's, Miss Diamond was giving reading groups for writers in her home, and I attended several sessions of these groups. It was then that I realised she not only had a fine, brilliant mind, but also was extremely compassionate and caring. (although she did not suffer fools gladly). As another one of her students said in her obituary, she loved words and saw literature as a way to help people empathize with each other in life.
