Crane

Famous quotes containing the word crane:

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

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

    You who desired so much—in vain to ask—
    Yet fed your hunger like an endless task,
    Dared dignify the labor, bless the quest—
    Achieved that stillness ultimately best,
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    But the star-glistered salver of infinity,
    The circle, blind crucible of endless space,
    Is sluiced by motion,—subjugated never.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
