Carlos

Famous quotes containing the word carlos:

    It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. Only one answer: write carelessly so that nothing that is not green will survive.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Your thighs are appletrees
    whose blossoms touch the sky.
    Which sky? The sky
    where Watteau hung a lady’s
    slipper.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    the hind
    stepped down

    into the pit of
    the empty
    flowerpot
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
