Poetry Quote by William Carlos Williams — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We sit and talk,”

“But the sea”

“It is difficult”

“You lethargic, waiting upon me,”

“so much depends”

“For the beginning is assuredly”

“I have outlasted all desire,”

“I like the lady horses best,”

“A poet is simply an artist whose medium is human emotions.  A poet chisels away at our own sensibilities, shaping our vision while molding our hearts.  A poet wraps words around our own feelings and presents them as fresh gifts to humanity.”

“at first when the rain fell”

“The poets are supposed to liberate the words – not chain them in phrases. Who told the poets they were supposed to think? Poets are meant to sing and to make words sing. Writers don't own their words. Since when do words belong to anybody? 'Your very own words,' indeed! And who are you?”

“Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.”
