Painted Wood

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or wood:

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

“bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,
bodies crucified up onto their crutches,
bodies wearing rubber bags between their legs,
bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
