Additional quotes by William Carlos Williams

Your thighs are apple trees. Your knees are the southern breeze.

Poetry demands a different material than prose. It uses another facet of the same fact … the spontaneous conformation of language as it is heard.

I have had my dream — like others — And it has come to nothing, so that
I remain now carelessly
With feet planted on the ground,
And look up at the sky — Feeling my clothes about me,
The weight of my body in my shoes,
The rim of my hat, air passing in and out
At my nose — and decide to dream no more.
