Prose in "Spring and All"

In the book "Spring and All" inside Williams' poetry collection, we spoke of the contrast between the poetry and prose portion. I personally liked the prose section more because it seemed almost more challenging. The prose section was like a personal invitation to a certain type of reader that welcomed him/her into Williams' own world and brand of poetry. This prose section also worked as a prologue for me in this section, showing the type of flow that would follow in his poetry. Williams states "In the imagination, we are from henceforth (so long as you read) locked in a faternal embrace, the classic caress of author and reader. We are one. Whenever I say "I" I mean also "you". And so, together, as one, we shall begin."

I remember reading this passage and feeling seduced on some level. Even the language of this section is perhaps deliberately done as a seduction, to woo the reader into his work. Perhaps a more intellegent person would say, "I am not going to fall for this temptation." But I did. I liked his work very much!
