William Carlos Williams

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

I think that this quote implies that for people who have never read poetry, when they die, they die in misery compared to the people who have read it because poetry brings light to peoples day. I personally do not agree with this because I feel that life is more complex than just poetry or no poetry, but it is a nice way to show how some writing actually makes a difference in peoples lives.
