Quote:
In Mystery-Bouffe (1918), a religious mystery play which mocked religion, the poet described a struggle between two groups, the “Unclean” working class and the “Clean” upper class. The earth has been destroyed by a flood, the survivors seek refuge at the North Pole. The “Unclean” defeat the “Clean” and create a workers’ paradise on Earth, where people “will live in warmth / and light, having hade electricity / move in waves.”
