Phoenix Venture

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or venture:

“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Our venture in revolution and outlawry
Has justified itself in freedom’s story
Right down to now in glory upon glory.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
