Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:
“O yellow eye,
let me be sick with your heat,
let me be feverish and frowning.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
