The gods released a vision on a world forespent and dull;
They sent it as a challenge by the sea hawk and the gull. It roused the Norman eagerness, the Albion cliffs turned red:
You fly the wings of logic — can you fly the wings of lead?

Nathalia Crane

And the eyes of all look upward seeing sign-word drawing nigh,
The stony wings of Egypt coming back across the sky; We hear the clinking tamborine of Miriam anew;
We believe in every miracle since Lindbergh flew the blue — The wonder of the long draw when the bowstring is a thread —
The beauty of a courage that can raise the wings of lead.

Nathalia Crane

A single-motored miracle, a lead mine on each flank;
Below a shadow swept and awed the hundred-fathom bank.

Nathalia Crane
