Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or crane:

    But the lark is so brimful of gladness and love,
    The green fields below him, the blue sky above,
    That he sings, and he sings; and for ever sings he—
    ‘I love my Love, and my Love loves me!’
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    they are brown and soft,
    And liable to melt as snow.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
