               "Out of the severing
               Of hill from hill
               The interim
               Of star from star
               The nascent
               Static
               Of night"
                  --Mina Loy

"If you are very frank with yourself and don't mind how ridiculous anything that comes to you may seem, you will have a chance of capturing the symbol of your direct reaction. The antique way to live and express life was to say it according to the rules. But the modern flings herself at life and lets herself feel what she does feel, then upon the very tick of the second she snatches the images of life that fly through the brain."

     --Mina Loy, from a 1917 interview
