William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams
I have never been one to write by rule, not even by my own rules.
William Carlos Williams
History must stay open, it is all humanity.
William Carlos Williams
Who isn't frustrated and does not prove it by his actions - if you want to say so? But through art the psychologically maimed may become the most distinguished man of his age. Take Freud for instance.
William Carlos Williams
Shoes twisted into incredible lilies.
William Carlos Williams
and there grows in the mind a scent, it may be, of locust blossoms whose perfume is itself a wind moving to lead the mind away.
William Carlos Williams
Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of angels.
William Carlos Williams
The poem is a capsule where we wrap up our punishable secrets.
William Carlos Williams
For the beginning is assuredly the end- since we know nothing, pure and simple, beyond our own complexities.
William Carlos Williams
