Fire
First in a series. This from The Voice of the Machines: An Introduction to the Twentieth Century by Gerald Stanley Lee (published 1906 — find it @ Project Gutenberg):
“The poet of the new movement shall not be discovered talking with the doctors, or defining art in the schools, nor shall he be seen at first by peerers in books. The passer-by shall see him, perhaps, through the door of a foundry at night, a lurid figure there, bent with labor, and humbled with labor, but with the fire from the heart of the earth playing upon his face.”
