Crane

Famous quotes containing the word crane:

    Always and last, before the final ring
    When all the fireworks blare, begins
    A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
    Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
    The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
    An embassy.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    And Thee, across the harbor, silver-paced
    As though the sun took step of thee, yet left
    Some motion ever unspent in thy stride,—
    Implicitly thy freedom staying thee!
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
