"It is difficult to get the news from poetry yet men die miserable every day for lack of what is fond there." - William Carlos Williams

Even though poetry is difficult to understand, the people that do not take the time to read and understand the content within the poem, they are being deprived from something important. Poetry is an art, like all art, it takes time to appreciate the beauty, and if the time is taken to absorb and learn about this new medium or art, knowledge will be gained. However, if people do not take the time to value poetry and learn appreciate its uniqueness, they will die a "miserable death."
