Ai, Qing. Shi de san wen mei. In : Ding dian ; vol. 1, no 1 (1939). [Prose-style beauty in poetry].
"The one important reason why I like Whitman, Verhaeren, and many other modern poets, including Mayakovsky, is because they ushered poetry into a newer realm and raised it to a higher plane, and because prose is intrinsically more beautiful than verse. We must make all efforts to carry on the revolution started by Whitman, Verhaeren, and Mayakovsky, and we must mold poetry into something that adequately meets the needs of the new era – meet them with new forms."
