Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    Tom’s great yellow bronze mask all draped upon an iron framework. An inhibited, nerve-drawn; dropped face—as if hung on a scaffold of heavy private brooding; & thought.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    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)
