Adelaide Crapsey
Listen.
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall.
Crapsey quotes
Artists give us not conclusions but evidence.
Crapsey
These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow...the hour
Before the dawn...the mouth of one
Just dead.




Crapsey Adelaide quotes
I know
Not these my hands
And yet I think there was
A woman like me once had hands
Like these.
Crapsey Adelaide
The old
Old winds that blew
When chaos was, what do
They tell the clattered trees that I
Should weep?
