Yellow Color

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or color:

“O yellow eye,
let me be sick with your heat,
let me be feverish and frowning.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their color is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
—Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)
