Casement windows slide vertically in their 'casing', hence the term.
You must be reading MacLeish's "Ars Poetica." I take this line to mean that the stone casement ledge of the window is worn from people leaning on it. Although this sounds unlikely, some stones such as marble are soft. You may have noticed, for instance, that marble stairs wear down in the middle after many feet have traversed them. Apparently, the building described here is quite old. This line aways makes me think of the "lonely men in shirtsleeves, leaning out of windows" in Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." However, MacLeish wants us to think about a vacant or ruined place that still bears the imprint of human activity.

I can not find out which way casement windows should hinge. I am having replacement windows installed and want to do it right. I have a bay window with 3 windows being installed. The sequence of windows is : Casement Left side #1 (bay) , Picture window #2, Case window right #3 (bay). Should Casement window #1 (left) be hindged on the right side? Or on the left side? I will mirror this answer for casement window #3 (right side).

A casement window is hinged on one side and usually opens outwards. What it can't do is slide up and down like a sash window.
I haven't been able to find a decent description of how to take out a casement window, but you should specify whether you want to remove the entire window frame or only the sash (the movable part of the window)
