Example text
Out of a decade of relative latency. The Blitz transformed London into "a city of ruin, a world ruined, it might seem, almost past redemption," she wrote in Tribute to Freud (p. 84). Destruction, paradoxically, brought in Pearson's words, "an astonishing revitalization" for her. D. began once again to write with the rapid intensity of inspiration. The Second World War functioned for her much as the First World War had for writers like Pound. Her sense of destiny as poetprophet in the Page 8 modernist apocalypse was certain and took on various forms of quest in The Gift, Tribute to Freud, and most importantly in her epic, Trilogy, composed of three volumes published as she wrote them: The Walls Do Not Fall (1944), Tribute to the Angels (1945), and The Flowering of the Rod (1946).

With its emphasis on Page 4 the poem as the instantaneous visual incarnation of an "emotional and intellectual complex," imagism could not explain the violence of war and the fragmentation of belief systems. Its disdain for philosophies and cosmologies as well as its demand for brevity left both form and content of the imagist poem inadequate before the historical imperatives for a literature based on the search for living mythologies.
