Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    Roach, foulest of creatures,
    who attacks with yellow teeth
    and an army of cousins big as shoes ...
    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)
