1883-1963, American Poet, Novelist
But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents.
William Carlos Williams – [Poetry and Poets]
Empty pockets make empty heads.
William Carlos Williams – [Poverty and The Poor]
It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.
William Carlos Williams – [Love]
