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.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    although your fear is anyone’s fear,
    like an invisible veil between us all . . .
    and sometimes in private,
    my kitchen, your kitchen,
    my face, your face.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
