Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coat:

    I died before bedtime came
    But my womb was bellowing
    And I felt with my bare fall
    A blazing red harsh head tear up
    And the dear floods of his hair.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    An aged man is but a paltry thing,
    A tattered coat upon a stick,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
