Not having to have a proper job. 






I never sat down and decided to make work about life and death. It just all comes out of my head like water pouring out of a jug.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
- Hank Williams



The weight of love
Has buoyed me up 
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.
- William Carlos Williams







There is nothing beginning nor end to the imagination but it delights in its own seasons reversing the usual order at will.
- William Carlos Williams





The only realism in art is of the imagination.
 - William Carlos Williams




In summer, the song sings itself. 
- William Carlos Williams




But the sea
which no one tends
is also a garden.
- William Carlos Williams
