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)

    Yet, to the empty trapeze of your flesh,
    O Magdalene, each comes back to die alone.
    Then you, the burlesque of our lust—and faith,
    Lug us back lifeward—bone by infant bone.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.
    —Diana Crane (b. 1933)
