Yellow Trim

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or trim:

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

    When we think of him, he is without a hat, standing in the wind and weather. He was impatient of topcoats and hats, preferring to be exposed, and he was young enough and tough enough to enjoy the cold and the wind of those times.... It can be said of him, as of few men in a like position, that he did not fear the weather, and did not trim his sails, but instead challenged the wind itself, to improve its direction and to cause it to blow more softly and more kindly over the world and its people.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
