Just for fun, here’s the poem the narrator references listening to, in audio format, in Part IV:

 

The Door

It is hard going to the door cut so small in the wall where the vision which echoes loneliness brings a scent of wild flowers in a wood. But I see the door, and knew the wall, and wanted the wood, and would get there if I could with my feet and hands and mind.

You can read and/or listen.

And here’s the wax cylinder recording of Whitman–one of the earliest audio recordings of a poem in history–referenced there as well:

For good measure, you can read the text here:

America

Centre of equal daughters, equal sons, All, all alike endear’d, grown, ungrown, young or old, Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich, Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love, A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother, Chair’d in the adamant of Time.

And here’s the site of the Chinati Foundation, established by the artist and sculptor, Donald Judd. This page shows some of the aluminum boxes the narrator reflects on in IV, and you can also see the “totaled” art of John Chamberlain:
