Extract

The star of Vladimir Mayakovski is today in its zenith. Has he not recorded, outdistancing in pointedness, dynamism and intensity any Soviet bard, every phase of the gigantic transition from Tsarist defeatism to intoxication with power? His stock-theme, namely, man reclaiming the earth from its self-imposed lords, he has bedizened with an unmatched breath of registers from literacy, birth-control, coal, radio, tractors and aircraft down to manners, cleanliness, diet and dress.
