stanza my stone

"The poem I like best to illustrate his (William Carlos Williams’) point, his method, is something that he told me, I think, was simply, literally a note left for his wife (Floss), which, when he reread it in the morning, he picked up (on) and put in the book as another poem. ‘This Is Just to Say’ is the title. […] I think that’s one of his greatest exemplary poems, because, finally, it’s where life and poetry are identical. There’s no separation out. That the note that he would write to communicate to his wife is identical to what he would put in a book to communicate to the eternals."

— Allen Ginsberg
