Phoenix/ships

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or ships:

    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)

    I saw three ships go sailing by,
    Over the sea, the lifting sea....
