Famous quotes containing the words crowned and/or crane:

    Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coloseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
