Yellow Color

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or color:

    “The twelve-thousand-day honeymoon
    is over.
    Hands crumble like clay,
    the mouth, its bewildered tongue,
    turns yellow with pain....”
    —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)
