I'm seven times seventy,
Plus a decade more.
This has all happened before.
Red and gold, I am no liar.
My nursery will be made
From my funeral pyre.

Who am I?

The phoenix!

The phoenix, in mythology, is a fabulous bird that periodically regenerated itself, used in literature as a symbol of death and resurrection. According to legend, the phoenix lived in Arabia; when it reached the end of its life (500 years), it burned itself on a pyre of flames, and from the ashes a new phoenix arose. As a sacred symbol in Egyptian religion, the phoenix represented the sun, which dies each night and rises again each morning. According to Herodotus, the bird was red and golden and resembled an eagle.

Looking at my face, I'm no more than six.
Look at the rest of me and I'm 21.

I am a feeling that cannot be touched,
But I'm more valuable than gold or clutch.

I'm a force that's strong, yet soft as a dove,
And I'm the reason behind every love.

You can't see me, but you feel me so true,
I'm what makes me say "I love you".
