Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or phoenix:
“There dwell the children of the dark Night, the dread gods Sleep and Death.”

“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lions paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tigers jaws,
And burn the long-livd phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleetst,
And do whater thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
