Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or power:
“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“What wouldst thou do, old man?
Think’st thou that duty shall have dread to speak
When power to flattery bows?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
