Leiden Wall Poems-William Carlos Williams















Riposte
Love is like water or the air
my townspeople;
it cleanses, and dissipates evil gases.
It's like poetry too
and for the same reasons.

Love is so precious
my townspeople;
that if I were you I would
have it under lock and key—
like the air or the Atlantic or
like poetry!
                 (William Carlos Williams, America, 1883-1963)
