The Red Wheelbarrow and Other Poems Quotes

“No defeat is made up entirely of defeat — since the world it opens is always a place formerly unsuspected. A world lost, a world unsuspected, beckons to new places and no whiteness (lost) is so white as the memory of whiteness . With evening, love wakens though its shadows which are alive by reason”
― William Carlos Williams, The Red Wheelbarrow & Other Poems

“Let the snake wait under
his weed
and the writing
be of words, slow and quick, sharp
to strike, quiet to wait,
sleepless.”
― William Carlos Williams, The Red Wheelbarrow and Other Poems
