Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    “down the sidewalk
    where laborers feed their dirty
    glistening torsos sandwiches
    and Coca-Cola, with yellow helmets
    on. They protect them from falling
    bricks, I guess.”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “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)
