John le Carr found inspiration in their career prior to writing, as did the author of "The Broken Tower".
 In his most ambitious work, "The Bridge", Crane sought to write an epic poem, in the vein of "The Waste Land", that expressed a more optimistic view of modern, urban culture than the one that he found in Eliot's work. 
David John Moore Cornwell (born 19 October 1931), known by the pseudonym John le Carr ( ), is a British author of espionage novels. 
 During the 1950s and the 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service, and began writing novels under his pen name. 
The last new poem meant to be published in Hart Crane's life, "The Broken Tower" (1932) has been widely acknowledged as one of the best lyrics of Crane's last years, if not his career.
