Crane

Famous quotes containing the word crane:

    O Sleepless as the river under thee,
    Vaulting the sea, the prairies dreaming sod,
    Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
    As of the curveship lend a myth to God.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Lo, Lord, Thou ridest!
    Lord, Lord, Thy swifting heart

    Naught stayeth, naught now bideth
    But’s smithereened apart!
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    The imaged word, it is that holds
    Hushed willows anchored in its glow.
    It is the unbetrayable reply
    Whose accent no farewell can know.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
