Yellow Banners

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or banners:

    The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
    The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Those banners come to bribe or threaten
    Or whisper that a man’s a fool
    Who when his own right king’s forgotten
    Cares what king sets up his rule.
    If he died long ago
    Why do you dread us so?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
