| | Brann The Iconoclast — Volume 1 by William Cowper Brann eBook by BookRags |
 | | As I read the proofs of the last of these volumes, wherein is told the story of Brann’s death, my cup of the joy of love’s labor is embittered with the gall of an impotent, futile rage against the Sower that flings with mocking hand the seed of genius and recks not where it falls. |
 | | Genius he is, this only Brann we have; genius audacious, defiant, and sublime; whose stature, though his feet be on the flat of the Brazos bottom, towers effulgent over those effigies placed on pedestals by orthodox popularity, and sickly lighted by professorial praise. |
 | | The slouch-hatted, gun-toting, beer-drinking, woman-worshiping, man-baiting Brann of Texas may have been the particular and only Brann to have developed the colossal courage and fighting fearlessness that gave his poet’s soul the reach and stature, the strength and vigor to raise himself above the mere music of his words. |
