Alchemical Encounter
"Legend has it that the phoenix, when it saw death drawing near, made a nest of sweet-smelling wood and resins, which is exposed to the full force of the sun's rays. As the nest caught fire, the phoenix was burnt to ashes, but out of the ashes arose another phoenix -- the bird's projected and immortal double. Along with the resurrected phoenix rose its infinitely multiplying offspring, flying out of its ashes and testifying to the bird's powers of endless reproduction." Johannes Fabricius "Alchemy" p. 207
