Yellow Warning Panels

Famous quotes containing the words yellow, warning and/or panels:

    “down the sidewalk
    where laborers feed their dirty
    glistening torsos sandwiches
    and Coca-Cola, with yellow helmets
    on. They protect them from falling
    bricks, I guess.”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “Tonight I will speak up and interrupt
    your letters, warning you that wars are coming,
    that the Count will die, that you will accept
    your America back to live like a prim thing
    on the farm in Maine.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “He sent for lancewood to make the thills;
    The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees;
    The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
    But lasts like iron for things like these;
    The hubs of logs from the “Settler’s ellum,”—
    Last of its timber,—they couldn’t sell ‘em,”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
