Yellow Dragon

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or dragon:

    ““Never shall a young man,
    Thrown into despair
    By those great honey-coloured
    Ramparts at your ear,
    Love you for yourself alone
    And not your yellow hair.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
