Wellington Phoenix

Famous quotes containing the words wellington and/or phoenix:

“An age and a faith moving into transition,
the dinner cold and new-baked bread a failure,”

“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)
