Painted

Famous quotes containing the word painted:

    Came to Ajanta cave, the painted space of the breast,
    the real world where everything is complete,
    there are no shadows, the forms of incompleteness,
    The great cloak blows in the light, rider and horse arrive,
    the shoulders turn and every gift is made.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Here thou art painted in the dress
    Of an inhuman murderess;
    Examining upon our hearts
    Thy fertile shop of cruel arts:
    Engines more keen than ever yet
    Adorned tyrant’s cabinet,
    Of which the most tormenting are
    Black eyes, red lips, and curled hair.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    To Him, the painted swallow,
    to Him, the lump of amber,
    to Him, the boy and girl
    with roses and love-knots,
    to Him, the little cat
    to play beneath the Manger....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
