of the sequence of six love poems titled "Voyages":
--And yet this great wink of eternity,
Of rimless floods, unfettered leewardings,
Samite sheeted and processioned where
Her undinal vast belly moonward bends,
Laughing the wrapt inflections of our love.
No poet since Keats had achieved this kind of elated lyricism.
from The New Yorker: The Mystic Word: The life and work of Hart Crane
