Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or star:

    “The twelve-thousand-day honeymoon
    is over.
    Hands crumble like clay,
    the mouth, its bewildered tongue,
    turns yellow with pain....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The eager fate which carried thee
    Took the largest part of me:
    For this losing is true dying;
    This is lordly man’s down-lying,
    This his slow but sure reclining,
    Star by star his world resigning.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
