The bell-rope that gathers God at dawn Dispatches me as though I dropped down the knell Of a spent day.
Hart Crane Quotes
Dead echoes! But I knew her body there, Time like a serpent down her shoulder, dark, And space, an eaglet’s wing, laid on her hair.

Harold Hart Crane was born in Garrettsville, Ohio, USA. He was an American poet. In his most ambitious work, The Bridge, Crane sought to write an epic poem, in the vein of The Waste Land, that expressed a more optimistic view of modern, urban culture than the one that he found in Eliot's work. He wrote several poetry books include: White Buildings, Ten unpublished poems, and The Poems of Hart Crane.
