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

This is quite an interesting quote from William Carlos Williams. I have to disagree with what he is saying. Men do not die miserably for the lack of reading poetry. Poetry is not as vital as William Carlos Williams makes it out to be. It certainly won't make men die miserably both literally or figuratively if they have not read much poetry.
