I will explain the William Carlos Williams poems in my essay. I am going to analyze his some poems ‘’Spring And All’’, ‘’The Red Wheelbarrow’’, ‘’This Is Just To Say’’, ‘’Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus’’ and ‘’To Elsie. I will start with short entrance of imagism and Williams’ style. Firstly, I need to say that he has a big influence to Ezra Pound and T.S Elliot.

    Shelley was “a falsetto screamer, a sentimental narcissus, a dream-ridden escapist, an immoral free-love cultist with a highly inflammable nature and particularly, in the present age, as the weakling author of the lyric called ‘The Indian serenade” (Carlos Baker, 11). Mathew Arnold(1865), for instance,opines that Shelley is an “ineffectual angel”.
