Marriage (William Carlos Williams)

A short poem by William Carlos Williams.

It's a metephor, I suppose. Or a math equation. Marriage = man + woman = stream + field.


Both man and woman are unique individuals as a stream and field are unique entities, but both are needed to complete the scene, to make a marriage.

This poem seems fine, but also seems lazy.  I don't feel deeply as I read. I am not inspired by unique descriptors. Dunno, seems kind of dull to me.

Favorite line: "so different, this man"
So different, this man
