Stephen Crane

I stood upon a high place,
And saw, below, many devils
Running, leaping,
and carousing in sin.
One looked up, grinning,
And said, "Comrade! Brother!"




Quotes of the Day

    by Amy Lowell
    Like black ice Scrolled over with unintelligible patterns by an ignorant skater Is the dulled surface of my heart.
