According to an account of drafts of the poem "Nancy Cunard", by Mina Loy, held in the Yale University Library,
Drafts of Loy’s poem about Nancy Cunard, her friend, fellow poet, and editor of The Hours Press, provide a window on her creative process. The final, published version of the poem ends with lines derived from this draft’s beginning and its final lines are now the poem’s center:- The vermilion wall
- receding as a sin
- beyond your moonstone whiteness,
- Your chiffon voice.
