Phoenix Desert Dogs

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix, desert and/or dogs:

    “A phoenix it is
    This hearse that must bless
    With aromatic gums
    That cost great sums,
    The way of thurification
    To make a fumigation,
    Sweet of reflare,
    And redolent of air,”
    —John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    “Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
    The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear:
    Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
    And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
    Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
    Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
    Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
