Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    Come unto these yellow sands,
    And then take hands.
    Curtsied when you have and kissed
    The wild waves whist,
    Foot it featly here and there;
    And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
