William Empson Quotes:
Ocupation: Literary critic
Life: September 27, 1906 - April 15, 1984
Birthday: September 27
Death: April 15
I think many people (like myself) prefer to read poetry mixed with prose; it gives you more to go by; the conventions of poetry have been getting far off from normal life, so that to have a prose bridge makes reading poetry seem more natural.
