The fruit (1962) -- William Carlos Williams Waking I was eating pears! she said I sat beside her on the bed thinking of Picaso a portrait of a sensitive young boy gathered into himself Waking I was eating pears! she said when separate jointly we embraced 과일 --윌리엄 칼로스 윌리엄즈 깨어나면서 배를 먹고 있었어요! 그녀는 말했다 나는 침대 위 ..

A Sort of a Song (1944) --William Carlos Williams Let the snake wait under his weed and the writing be of words, slow and quick, sharp to strike, quiet to wait, sleepless. -- through metaphor to reconcile the people and the stones.
