Harriet Monroe, ed. (18601936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 191222. | | Consecration | By Robert M. McAlmon |
| From Flying THE ACHROMATISM of the sky | |
Alters the adagio tempo of my consciousness. | |
The avalanche of air inundating me and my plane | |
Goes out again from me in coruscating graciousness; | |
And, the dissonance of my unrest soothed, | 5 |
Makes me devout before spaciousness. | |
There is a débacle of various egos within me, | |
That refractory memory thrusts before me | |
Knowing they will return to me with earth. | |
But for the now on high, all the crevices of my being, | 10 |
Long filled by glutted life, are cleansed; | |
And I know consecration in eternal ether. | | | |
