  • To employ common language that is precisely suited to the phrase

  • To search out new rhythms to express new moods

  • To welcome all subjects to the field of topics

  • To quell vagueness with exact images

  • To produce hard, clear verse free of confusion and distortion

  • To compress thought as though distilling the essence of meaning

when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned 
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings’ wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning

-William Carlos Williams, 1960

In order to escape, Daedalus fashions wings for himself and Icarus out of wax. Daedalus warns Icarus not to fly to close to the sun because the wings will melt. However, Icarus forgets this warning and flies to close to the sun. After his wings melt, he falls into the ocean and drowns. ]]> 2018-02-05 19:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228310698 Icarus Art ellenjreeder https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228317707 This image by Jacob Peter Gowy depicts the flight of Icarus as he falls from the sky after his wings melt. ]]> 2018-02-05 19:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228317707 Ezra Pound ellenjreeder https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228320852 -Born: October 30, 1885 in Hailey, Idaho

Also, Chicago is known as the Windy City and he says “and then it moves out” wich could be a result of the wind pushing the fog through the city. One other reason is that he lived in Chicago for many years and he wrote other poems set in Chicago. Does anyone else see anyother reasons to believe the poem is set in Chicago?]]> 2018-02-05 21:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228360109 Carl Sandburg image Owen_Koppe https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228362842 Born on January 6, 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois.

Marywalton https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228408097 This poem, written by William Carlos Williams, was actually a note that he left his wife one morning on his way to work. It is not his most well known poem but is still a creative piece. The poem embodies Williams look on poetry to "free the line" and let poetry be anything that is wants. His poetry was rooted in reality and used lots of imagery. The poem is a snapshot of a daily occurrence yet the choice of words, regardless of how few, creates a masterpiece of intimate detail and description. ]]> 2018-02-06 01:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228408097 William Carlos Williams iselabrown https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/ud196zbhwz5t/wish/228922218 Was born in Ruthford, NJ on September 17th, 1883.
