The Phoenix and Turtle
by William Shakespeare from 1601
About
This brief allegorical poem mourns the death of the phoenix and the turtledove, emblems of beauty and faithfulness, who loved so perfectly that their identities merged into one. Reason itself attends their funeral, confessing it cannot comprehend a love that transcended its own categories.
