Over the bridge Looking Up !

Through the bound cable strands,the arching path

Upward,veering with light, the flight of strings,-

Taut miles of shuttling moonlight syncopate

The whispered rush,telepathy of wires.

Up the index of night,granite and steel-

Transparent meshes-fleckless the gleaming staves-

Sybilline voices flicker ,waveringly stream

As though a god were issue of the strings..


The Bridge, Hart Crane
