Famous quotes containing the word paintings:

    “the great orange bed where we lie
    like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “When I began to have a fire at evening, before I plastered my house, the chimney carried smoke particularly well, because of the numerous chinks between the boards.... Should not every apartment in which man dwells be lofty enough to create some obscurity overhead, where flickering shadows may play at evening about the rafters? These forms are more agreeable to the fancy and imagination than fresco paintings or other the most expensive furniture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
