Dark Phoenix

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or phoenix:

    No, they are dark and wrinkled and hairy,
    caves of the Moon . . .——— And when a
    dark humming fills us, a
    coldness towards life,
    we are too much women to
    own such unwomanliness.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    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)
