Dark Phoenix

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or phoenix:

    “The elaborate star-light throws a reflection
    On the dark stream,
    Till all the eddies gleam;
    And thereupon there comes that scream
    From terrified, invisible beast or bird:
    Image of poignant recollection.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
    Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
    And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
    I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
