"It is difficult to get the news from poetry, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there" -William Carlos Williams

This is an interesting quote said by William Carlos Williams. I happen to disagree with it though. He seems like a poet trying to spark interest in his work and I don't think that it is appropriate or mature. Men do not die miserably, both metaphorically or literally, due to not reading poetry every day. I think I have actually lost respect for William Carlos Williams as a poet through this quote.
