The bell-rope that gathers God at dawn Dispatches me as though I dropped down the knell Of a spent day.
Hart Crane Quotes
Our Meistersinger, thou set breath in steel; And it was thou who on the boldest heel Stood up and flung the span on even wing Of that great Bridge, our Myth, whereof I sing.

About
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 He wrote several poetry books include: White Buildings, Ten unpublished poems, and The Poems of Hart Crane.
