William Carlos Williams- Quotes


William Carlos Williams

"Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of the angels."

"It is not what you say that matters but the manner in which you say it; there lies the secret of the ages."

"If they give you lined paper, write the other way."

Great quote for reflection. The manner of "saying" not only can bring elucidation, but also transformation. I enjoyed visiting your site here. Love the chance to read quotes from the great poets. Thanks.

I love your blog, and any blog that pertains to poetry and some of my favorite poets. William Warlos Williams is in that group.
