MECHANIZATION, by                    
First Line: The photographic plate makes clear
Last Line: And it is they that feel.
Subject(s): Life Change Events; Photography & Photographers


The photographic plate makes clear
Events we like to think remote;
By short-wave we can nicely hear
Breath in the diplomatic throat.

Informed of all, we sleep and live,
Nor quiver as do threads of steel—
Our instruments are sensitive,
And it is they that feel.
