Crowe

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)

    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)
