War is beautiful because—thanks to its gas masks,
its terrifying megaphones, its flame throwers
and light tanks—it establishes
Man’s domination over the subjugated machine
War is beautiful because it inaugurates the
dreamed-of metallization of the human body
War is beautiful because it enriches a flowering
meadow with fiery orchids of machine guns
War is beautiful because it combines gunfire,
barrages, cease fires, scents, and the fragrance of putrefaction into a
symphony
War is beautiful because it creates new architectures,
like those of armored tanks, geometric squadrons of aircraft, spirals of smoke
from burning villages, and much more
Poets and artists of Futurism, remember these
principles of an aesthetic of War, that they may illuminate your struggles for
a new poetry and a new sculpture!
F.T. Marinetti. The first Rivethead.
