Crane

Famous quotes containing the word crane:

    when wine redeems the sight,
    Narrowing the mustard scansions of the eyes,
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    His thoughts, delivered to me
    From the white coverlet and pillow,
    I see now, were inheritances—
    Delicate riders of the storm.
    —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)
