Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    “The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
    Over the grass in the West garden;
    They hurt me. I grow older.”

    “Those banners come to bribe or threaten
    Or whisper that a man’s a fool
    Who when his own right king’s forgotten
    Cares what king sets up his rule.
    If he died long ago
    Why do you dread us so?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
