Hart Crane’s poetry is a perfect example of an Apollonian art with Dionysian qualities. Hart Crane, the American poet and author of “Eternity”, “O Carib Isle!”, and “The Hurricane”, demonstrates elements of destruction and tragedy within his poems. The Apollonian dreamworld is “the father of all the imagistic arts […] [including the] good half of poetry”(Nietzsche, 29). Because poetry is an art form of the Apollonian world Crane’s poems become an Apollonian work. It is through the poems themselves

cultivated to the point, where they do not feel the need to plagiarize and cheat. Newman also states that in the end, the university will produce citizens that can give back to society (48). Jeffrey Hart makes a similar point in "How to Get a College Education." Therefore, according to both Newman and Hart, an honest person will be fashioned by the university.

Hart have referred to discretion as “the hole in the doughnut” (doughnut theory of discretion) and “where the law runs out” (natural law theory). In perspective, discretion is the empty area in the middle of a ring consisting of policies and procedures
Badge of Courage was a significant novel in the way that the characters were portrayed. Crane hardly ever used the actual names of the soldiers. He simply described them as the loud soldier, the tall soldier, the cheery soldier, and the tattered soldier. Crane made the characters stand out in the use of describing them and promoting their relationship with Henry and his struggle during the battles. Crane did a fantastic job with relating the different characters with different roles that Henry

This message shows what lengths Adela will go to, just to pursue her evil acts. Along with a rude letter to the Crane family came another
Choice in One Hundred Years of Solitude and Thousand Cranes The issue of choice arises when comparing Gabriel Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Yasunari Kawabata's Thousand Cranes.
