Poetry
“The West Wind blows the curtains
And I am frailer than the yellow chrysanthemums.”

“There will be great winds by reason of which things of the East will become things of the West”

Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction (1942), It Must Change
Context: Like a page of music, like an upper air,
Like a momentary color, in which swans
Were seraphs, were saints, were changing essences. The west wind was the music, the motion, the force
To which the swans curveted, a will to change,
A will to make iris frettings on the blank.
