Painted Veil

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or veil:

    In the graveyard, which was crowded with graves, and overrun with weeds, I noticed an inscription in Indian, painted on a wooden grave-board. There was a large wooden cross on the island.

    She loosed one veil and another, standing unafraid;
    And he perished.
