Vachel Lindsay's latest lyrics come close to that theme, play with it a bit, and then reject it with whole-hearted aversion. To his mind, which delights in parable, analogue, and symbol, the monotonous measure of progress is anathema. In the words of the mixed blood, whose thoughts and fancies are the subject of the poems, one reads the theme of the collection...
