"William Carlos Williams, di akhir umur panjangnya, bermimpi: Dia melihat tangga spiral besar di ruang kosong, dan ayahnya perlahan turun ke arahnya. Ketika dia mencapai bagian bawah, ayahnya berjalan mendekat, menatap matanya dan berkata, “Kamu tahu puisi yang sedang kamu tulis? Mereka tidak baik. ""

William Carlos Williams, late in his long life, had a dream: He saw an enormous spiral staircase in empty space, and his father slowly descending toward him. When he reached the bottom, his father walked over, looked him in the eye and said: “You know those poems you're writing? They're no good.”
