Crowe

Famous quotes containing the word crowe:

    “God have mercy on the sinner
    Who must write with no dinner,

    No gravy and no grub,
    No pewter and no pub.

    No belly and no bowels,
    Only consonants and vowels.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “It was a transmogrifying bee
    Came droning down on Chucky’s old bald head
    And sat and put the poison. It scarcely bled,”
    —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)
