Hart Crane Quotes

The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,

As apparitional as sails that cross
Some page of figures to be filed away;
—Till elevators drop us from our day ...

Hart Crane

boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson in your life--...the lesson of your utter insignificance. It is valuable to you, as well as to those you are to rub shoulders with. 'You are finite,' time tells you in a voice of boredom, 'and whatever you do is, from my point of view, futile.' As music to your ears, this, of course, may not count; yet the sense of futility, of limited significance even of your best, most ardent actions is better than the... Joseph Brodsky
