Yellow Man

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or man:

    He’s made a harp of her breast-bane,
    Whose sound wad melt a heart of stane.

    He’s ta’en three locks o’ her yellow hair,
    And wi’ them strung his harp sae rare.
    Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 41–44)

    License my roving hands, and let them go
    Before, behind, between, above, below.
    O my America! my new-found-land,
    My kingdom, safeliest when with one man manned,
    My mine of precious stones, my empery,
    How blest am I in this discovering thee!
    To enter in these bonds is to be free;
    Then where my hand is set, my seal shall be.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
