Everything left in its own rapid, fluid relationship

"There must be mutation, swifter than iridescence, haste, not rest, come-and-go, not fixity, inconclusiveness, immediacy, the quality of life itself, without denouement or close. There must be the rapid momentaneous association of things which meet and pass on the forever incalculable journey of creation: everything left in its own rapid, fluid relationship with the rest of things.This is the unrestful, ungraspable poetry of the sheer present, poetry whose very permanency lies in its wind-like transit."

D.H. Lawrence talking about Walt Whitman in his intro to the New Poems, 1918
