Usage
"Don Lee wants not a various America. Don Lee wants a new nation under nothing; a physical light that waxes; he does not want to be exorcised, adjoining and revered; he does not like a local garniture nor any impish onus in the vogue; is not candlelit but stands out in the auspices of fire and rock and jungle-flail; wants new art and anthem; will want a new music screaming in the sun." — From the poem "In the Mecca", Book: In the Mecca, 1968.
