Famous quotes containing the word crane:

    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)

    The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower;
    And swing I know not where.
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

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

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