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,
    —Alfred Wellington Purdy (b. 1919)

    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)
