Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or cross:

    O hurry to the ragged wood, for there
    I will drive all those lovers out and cry
    O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
    No one has ever loved but you and I.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.
    Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
