I've always been intriqued by the story of the Phoenix. Different cultures have different versions of who the Phoenix is, and what it means. Hans Christian Andersen's poem, The Phoenix Bird, is one of my favorite classic literary selections.

When a mother sits by her infant's cradle,
he stands on the pillow,
and, with his wings,
forms a glory around the infant's head.
He flies through the chamber of content,
and brings sunshine into it,
and the violets on the humble table
smell doubly sweet.
