Painted Post

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or post:

    The sleeping and the dead
    Are but as pictures; ‘tis the eye of childhood
    That fears a painted devil.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    Those undreamt accidents that have made me
    Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
    Being but a part of ancient ceremony
    Notorious, till all my priceless things
    Are but a post the passing dogs defile.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
