Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Disillusion
By Amy Lowell
 
From “Lacquer Prints”

  A SCHOLAR,
Weary of erecting the fragile towers of words,
Went on a pilgrimage to Asama-Yama;
And seeing the force of the fire
Spouting from this mighty mountain,        5
Hurled himself into its crater
And perished.
