Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Voice of the Machines: An Introduction to the Twentieth Century
N its present importance as a factor in life and a modifier of its conditions, the machine is in every sense a new and unprecedented fact The machine has no traditions. The only way to take a traditional stand with regard to life or the representation of life to-day, is to leave the machine out. It has always been left out. Leaving it out has made little difference. Only a small portion of the people of the world have had to be left out with it.
Not to see poetry in the machinery of this present age, is not to see poetry in the life of the age. It is not to believe in the age.

Excerpt from The Voice of the Machines: An Introduction to the Twentieth Century
It would be difficult to find anything in the encyclopedia that would justify the claim that we are about to make, or anything in the dictionary. Even a poem - which is supposed to prove anything with a little of nothing - could hardly be found to prove it; but in this beginning hour of the twentieth century there are not a few of us - for the time at least allowed to exist upon the earth - who are obliged to say (with Luther), "Though every tile on the roundhouse be a devil, we cannot say otherwise - the locomotive is beautiful."
As seen when one is looking at it as it is, and is not merely using it.
As seen from a meadow.
We had never thought to fall so low as this, or that the time would come when we would feel moved - all but compelled, in fact - to betray to a cold and discriminating world our poor, pitiful, one-adjective state.
