Key West et autres poèmes

Crane préfigure le malaise de la seconde moitié du siècle dans ces pages d’une intense, inquiétante beauté. "Reflective conversion of all things / At yout deep blush, when ecstasies thread / The limbs and belly, when rainbows spread / Impinging on the throat and sides .../ Inevitable, the body of the world / Weeps in inventive dust for the hiatus / That winks above it, bluet in your breasts."
