Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or desert:

    “Like the moon her kindness is.
    If kindness I may call
    What has no comprehension in’t,
    But is the same for all
    As though my sorrow were a scene
    Upon a painted wall.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
