Painted Veil

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or veil:

    How many paltry, foolish, painted things
    That now in coaches trouble every street
    Shall be forgotten, whom no poet sings,
    Ere they be well wrapped in their winding-sheet!
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.
