House of Dust: A Symphony
House of Dust: A Symphony is a poem by Conrad Aiken, written in 1920, structured in four movements akin to a classical symphony. The work explores themes of human mortality and loss in the aftermath of World War I, using evocative imagery inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Aiken's poem reflects the influence of Imagism and modern psychology, delving into individual identity and emotion through rich sensory allusions to nature.
