The text explores the pervasive influence of machines on modern life, urging readers to recognize their inherent beauty and significance in both artistic and spiritual contexts. Lee invites a deeper understanding of machinery, advocating for its recognition as a form of poetry and a medium of expression for the human soul. At the start of the book, Lee reflects on the beauty of machines, particularly locomotives, as they arise in the dawn of the new century. He articulates how machinery, far from being merely utilitarian, embodies a representation of human creativity and aspiration. Through evocative language, he sets a tone that contrasts the mechanical with traditional notions of beauty and art, suggesting that the voice of machines reflects the changing dynamics of society and human existence. Lee's insights challenge preconceptions, asking for a reevaluation of our relationship with technology and the ways in which it shapes our world.
