POETRY: A Magazine of Verse Their little souls, Their cowardly cramped souls— Bigness went To steel and to stone. Slow and feeble their breath. Do you hear the white steam Panting? There is no music in their hearts. Engines know rhythm, Engines make Loudness. If their eyes are Without longing, Do not numbers Create themselves? And if their lips show not The deep proud curve of passion, Are not cities Passionate ? Furnaces, steel towers, engines, cities— And the pale-eyed people crawling, Emptied Into these things. [302]
PASSING I am tired of roads. I am tired of the going—the going; And I am tired of passing people. Emmy Veronica Sanders In the east a narrow streak of gold And the flutter of wings of the little desires. Bleakness of snow in the north And in the south the taste of ashes on hot lips. Westward a loneliness. Roads over sand, and roads over snow, and roads across rivers. I am tired of roads. I am tired of the going—the going; And I am tired of passing people. I am tired of passing them on the glistening pavements under the lamplight And in the places where you order things to eat. I am tired of passing them at noon under the flat stare of the sun And in the street-cars, the elevated trains and the taxis. Passing glances and feet passing— Feet of six million people passing and gliding by, Shuffling and jostling by— Passing—passing; And those that pass on the screen in the movies, [303]
