Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
    For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
    Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
    But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
    Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Rejoice ye pure in heart,
    Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
    Your orient banners wave on high,
    The cross of Christ your King.
    Edward Plumptre (1821–1891)
