Crane

Famous quotes containing the word crane:

“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)

“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)

“O sinewy silver biplane, nudging the wind’s withers!
There, from Kill Devils Hill at Kitty Hawk
Two brothers in their twinship left the dune;
Warping the gale, the Wright wind wrestlers veered
Capeward, then blading the wind’s flank, banked and spun.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
