Painted Veil

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or veil:

    All of our lives is a rebus
    Of little wooden animals painted shy,
    Terrific colors, magnificent and horrible,
    Close together.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    For even within his tent she accomplished his derision;
    She loosed one veil and another, standing unafraid;
    And he perished.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
