william carlos williams. absolutely. this one is amazing too:
A sort of a song
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. Compose. (No ideas but in things) Invent! Saxifrage is my flower that splits the rocks.
he has such a beautiful way of making metaphorical things very tangible, and of mixing ideas together (like words and writing ((along with the force and impact of the words themselves)) and the movement of a snake's body) in a way that's perfectly visible to the mind's eye.
