Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Fire
By Max Michelson
 
From “Winds of March”

  YOU contain more
Than the red and the purple and the orange
Which I see:
If I dared to tear you to shreds with my hands
I would find that you contain also water,        5
And ice, and even blackish-brown earth,
To make beautiful things with.
