| I visited your country twice already and found the bareness of the landscape very inviting to big thoughts. |
| After peeping outside to make sure that no-one had seen me in my state of bareness, I closed the door behind us. |
| Give me the grace, dear God, to see the bareness and the misery of the places where You are not adored but desecrated. |
| The use of white grounds, the bareness of the compositions, helped to bring a searching psychological dimension to each subject. |
| Giant sycamores line the road to Purple Hill, almost sentry-like in their winter bareness. |
| Detached from society, they don't seem to exist beyond the bareness of the stage. |
