Its short history is a fever-chart of migrations — the land rush, the gold rush, the oil rush, the movie rush, the Okie fruit-picking rush, the wartime rush to the aircraft factories — followed, in each instance, by counter-migrations of the disappointed and unsuccessful, moving sorrowfully homeward.
--
"Los Angeles" from Exhumations (1966) [Methuen & Co., Ltd, London], p. 159

The pushing of the people — I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion — do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and... I have the touch.

As we rush, as we rush in the train,
The trees and the houses go wheeling back,
But the starry heavens above that plain
Come flying on our track.
