	Stephen Crane - Biography and Works
		Crane lived a very short but eventful life--author and publisher Irving Bacheller hired him as reporter and he travelled across America, to Mexico, down to Cuba to report on the Spanish-American conflict, and later to Greece.
		Stephen Townley Crane was born on 1 November 1871 at 14 Mulberry Place in Newark, New Jersey into the large family of Mary Helen Peck (1827-1891) and Jonathan Townley Crane (1819-1880), Methodist minister.
		At the age of twenty-eight, Stephen Crane died on 5 June 1900, and now rests in the family plot at the Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside, Union County, New Jersey.

	Crane (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crane myth is as widely separated and universal as the Aegean, South Arabia, Japan and Amerindian North America.
		A crane is the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for the letter "B." Also, the word "pedigree" comes from the Old French phrase, "pie de grue", which means "foot of a crane", as the pedigree diagram looks similar to the branches coming out of a crane's foot.
		A crane is considered auspicious in Japan, as one of the symbols of longevity and represented with other symbols of long life, the pine and bamboo, and the tortoise.

	Hart Crane Biographical Sketch
		By understanding the unlikelihood of his project, Crane (no doubt inadvertantly) constructed a basis upon which to begin it: the very point of the poem was that it was needed, that it did not yet exist, that it was to be sought for, an act of postulation.
		When Crane positions himself under the shadows of the bridge, he is, in one sense, simply the poet of the romantic tradition, the observer who stands aside the better to see; but he is, in another sense, the gay male cruising in an area notorious for its casual sex.
		Crane’s "epic of America" gets underway as a personal quest, as a poem divided against itself, in devotion to an urban setting that encourages social diversity, with secret inscriptions that retain their meanings to which only a privileged few are accessible.

	Walter Crane
		Crane was one of the most popular Victorian illustrators of children's books, and one of the earliest exponents of the colored picture book, which he designed in collaboration with Edmund Evans.

		Crane devoted a great deal of thought to the kind of designs that he believed would appeal to children, and his particular style is consistent with these theories.

	The Crane
		Cranes fly in V-formation and the characters of all early alphabets, nicked with a knife on the rind of boughs - as Hesiod wrote his poems - or on clay tablets, were naturally angular.
		Cranes make their spectacular migrations from the Tropic of Cancer to the Arctic Circle and back twice yearly, flying in chevron formation with loud trumpeting at an enormous height; and this must have attached them to the Hyperborean cult as messengers flying to the other world which lies at the back of the North Wind.
		The omission of corr, the Crane, from the Irish bird-Ogham for the C-month is intentional, the contents of the crane bag were a close secret and all reference to it was discouraged.
