Famous quotes containing the word crowe:

    “There was such speed in her little body,
    And such lightness in her footfall,
    It is no wonder her brown study
    Astonishes us all.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “I would not knock old fellows in the dust
    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
    Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
    How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
    Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
    To an inordinate race?”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
