From “Chicago Notes”
P
Through which the high priests of the sun
Might blow their trumpets in the morning,
Strong red and yellow buttress,
What breed of desert dwellers
Left you here in the midst of the city,
To mock with your severity
The gaudy frippery of more bright façades,
To smolder like a polished block
Of dark Egyptian stone?
