Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    When there was no more lantern in the kitchen,
    The fire got out through crannies in the stove
    And danced in yellow wrigglers on the ceiling,
    As much at home as if they’d always danced there.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Say that the men of the old black tower
    Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
    Their money spent, their wine gone sour,
    Lack nothing that a soldier needs,
    That all are oath-bound men;
    Those banners come not in.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
