Painted

Famous quotes containing the word painted:

    Come gather round me players all:
    Come praise Nineteen-Sixteen,
    Those from the pit and gallery
    Or from the painted scene
    That fought in the Post Office
    Or round the City Hall....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)

    In the graveyard, which was crowded with graves, and overrun with weeds, I noticed an inscription in Indian, painted on a wooden grave-board. There was a large wooden cross on the island.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
