Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    ““I heard an old religious man
    But yesternight declare
    That he had found a text to prove
    That only God, my dear,
    Could love you for yourself alone
    And not your yellow hair.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
