Phoenix Left

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or left:

    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)

    What is left after this?
    what can death loose in me
    after your embrace?
    your touch,
    your limbs are more terrible
    to do me hurt.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
