Yellow Flag

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or flag:

    “It was a quiet Sunday morning, with more of the auroral rosy and white than of the yellow light in it, as if it dated from earlier than the fall of man, and still preserved a heathenish integrity.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
