Yellow Flags

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or flags:

“a star
called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
the biting yellow their corrupted lives
streaming to war, denying all our words.”

“Still, it is dear defiance now to carry
Fair flags of you above my indignation,”
