Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    The twelve-thousand-day honeymoon
    is over.
    Hands crumble like clay,
    the mouth, its bewildered tongue,
    turns yellow with pain....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The President has apples on the table
    And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
    The curtains to a metaphysical t
    And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
    On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
    At the halyards.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
