When Carlos Williams writes that a reader must “complete what the poet has began” means to feel and understand from the poet point of view. When reading “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” by W.B yeats I try to imagine going to a idyllic lake isle of innisfree by envisioning what he envision as he day dreams. W.B describes his happy place where he wants to escape in detail “Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;” he wants readers to understand where he wants to live and what it would be like.

I also focused on this poem for the same reasons. It reminds me of moments that I have felt peaceful in nature and in solitude!
