''O harp and altar, of the fury fused.'' ''Terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge.'' ''Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars.'' Those were some of the ways the poet Hart Crane saw the Brooklyn Bridge in 1930.

Governor Cuomo proposed in January that taxpayers be allowed to contribute to the arts on their state income-tax forms. Under the plan, which required legislative approval, the money would go to a new fund to be administered by the State Council on the Arts and be distributed to local arts councils, museums and theater, dance and opera groups.

When it came time for Tina the terrible-tempered elephant to pack her trunk and leave the Central Park Zoo last year, she had one big problem - there was no place for her to go. The zoo was emptying its cages in preparation for rebuilding, and it was lending or giving away its animals. But nobody wanted Tina because of her reputation for grumpiness.

A cease-fire agreement in Colombia was signed by the Government with one of the country's principal leftist guerrilla groups. The agreement with the April 19 movement, also known as M-19, followed a similar accord Thursday with two smaller rebels groups and with the powerful Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces last March. Colombia is the first Latin American country to have successfully negotiated an armistice with leftist guerrilla movements. (Page 1, Column 4.) A Gandhi appointee resigned as Governor of Andhra Pradesh State, saying he was ''pained by the controversy'' over his dismissal a week ago of the state's Chief Minister, who was an opponent of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

As the last Republican convention delegates booked flights for the trip back home to Pocatello, much of Dallas heaved a sigh of relief, not least the bone-weary journalists of the city's hotly competitive dailies, The Dallas Morning News and The Dallas Times Herald. ''I think everyone is sort of glad it's over,'' said Jeremy Halbreich, senior vice president and general manager of The Morning News, the larger and more conservative, journalistically and politically, of the two competitors. ''It was a great effort but I'm not sure that what happened during convention week will affect circulation and advertising one iota.'' Nonetheless, both newspapers went all-out in an almost round-the-clock journalistic and promotional battle to gain some edge in a classic newspaper war at least as intense as the set-to between the Democrats and Republicans. Despite a convention that at times bordered on the soporific, the papers managed to fill beefed-up issues: seven pounds of The Morning News on Sunday, three pounds of The Times Herald. They included anything from the daily movements of the delegates to the fulminations of the pseudonymous Joe Bob Briggs, the Times Herald Drive-in-Movie Critic, who set aside reviews of movies like ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' to devote his attentions instead to reviewing what he insisted on calling ''the Publicans.''

Image- conscious Dallas was hot, efficient, peaceful and friendly. But President Reagan's son Ron says he liked San Francisco better. There were more limousines than protesters, high praise for the police and more than $20 million in Republican conventioneers' money, the President's youngest son said.

When Caspar W. Weinberger became Secretary of Defense nearly three and a half years ago, he started out with a candor in public that was refreshing to some and distressing to others. He said the new Administration would help improve Saudi Arabia's defenses, produce the neutron bomb and expand military spending. Mr. Weinberger occasionally turned a catchy phrase, pleading the need for ''rearming America'' and calling Soviet pressures on Poland ''an invasion by osmosis.'' Over the years, however, Mr. Weinberger has steadily become more reticent in public and has gradually sought, with some success, to tighten the controls over the flow of information from the Defense Department.

For the moment, the new participatory politics of television and single issues and direct-mail fund raising have helped put Ronald Reagan well ahead. Walter F. Mondale is behind the curve and he knows it. But the game is by no means over. Since the mid-1960's, we have had an explosion of participatory democracy - more campaign contributors, more political-action committees, more lobbyists, more media freaks, more special interests, more cash, more clout and more players - from left, right and center. These are the new politics. Yet, when all these new kaleidoscopic pieces are assembled, they emerge as something quite old and reassuring: a reinvigorated politics of the contentious center. Consider what has happened to liberalism. By the early 1970's, it seemed to many Americans that liberalism had taken a wrong turn. The decent impulses were still there, but too often carried to extremes.

Despite all the care and planning the Republican television and advertising consultants lavished on the party's national convention, for the first time in 16 years fewer people watched the convention of an incumbent President's party than watched the other party's convention, according to the Nielsen ratings. But numbers may not be the whole story. If there is a single affecting image that endures from all the thousands that went out over the television screen from the convention in Dallas, it might be the slight, delicate figure of Nancy Reagan standing on the stage and waving. She was trying to get her husband's attention, waving not at the camera that provided the picture of her that he was watching, but waving at the giant screen above her head, which showed him watching her from his hotel suite.

Two admirals in charge of the Royal Navy during the Falkland war in 1982 have denied that Britain ever considered attacking Argentina with nuclear weapons, The Times of London reported today. The admirals, who are now retired, responded to assertions published Thursday in the weekly magazine The New Statesman that a Polaris submarine was sent to Ascension Island.
