Additional quotes by Nathalia Crane

The sign work of the Orient it runneth up and down; The Talmud stalks from right to left, a rabbi in a gown; The Roman rolls from left to right from Maytime unto May; But the gods shake up their symbols in an absent-minded way. Their language runs to circles like the language of the eyes, Emphasised by strange dilations with little panting sighs.

Let go the lure The striving to unmake; Behold the truth Whenever heart may ache There is a glory In a great mistake.
