This is Just to say,
William thanks,
for stealing the plum.
Breaking the curse
with the gift of Knowledge.
Not everything has
to be about Eve.

This poem, This is Just to Say, by William Carlos Williams has broken the view in me that poetry is pretentious and that all of it has deep meaning. Camille Paglia, while I'm sure your reading of the poem works, I think you're reading to much into irritating personally.
