Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or desert:

    “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)

    “Reclusive? The inner city will secure your privacy better than any desert cave.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
