- Quotes
Laura Collins: And there are the tallest palm trees with trunks curving up into the sky. The kind of trees that make a wonderful nesting place for the Phoenix.
David Collins: The Phoenix? What's that?
Laura Collins: A legendary bird. A bird that's said to live forever.
David Collins: I've never... I've never even heard of it.
Laura Collins: Well, not many people have. In fact, it's said there's only one on Earth at a time.
David Collins: Hmm, what does it look like?
Laura Collins: Oh, it's very beautiful. It has a scarlet head and body, and... And it has sea blue eyes. And its wings are iridescent.
David Collins: I wish I could see one.
Laura Collins: Well, perhaps you can. In your imagination. Try. Try to picture the beautiful bird flying high in the clouds and the flap of its wings as it flies from century to century.
David Collins: It must be pretty old.
Laura Collins: Well, that's one of the fascinating things about it. It doesn't grow old for a hundred years and even then it doesn't lose its beauty. Then one day, it feels its wings growing heavier and it knows it hasn't much time. It hears death calling so it knows what it must do. It starts on its last long flight in search of the very tallest palm tree. Then it gathers up all the sweet smelling spices and it builds a very special nest on top of the tree. And then at dawn the Phoenix awakes and begins to sing. And then the sun rises. Oh, the rays become very strong and they beat down on the dry nest. And slowly it starts to smolder. And the Phoenix fans the spark with its wings until the entire nest is ablaze. And the beautiful feathers, they all catch on fire. The whole bird is consumed in flame and burned to ashes. And from these ashes the Phoenix is reborn. Reborn to live on and spend the next hundred years in Paradise.
