Sorry, looks like you were a false positive. Yes, it was a William Carlos Williams reference. I have a hard time using the expression "Forgive me." without thinking of Williams. And I love finding literary references in everyday speech too. Congrats on picking up on Havez in your Persian test. Molly Troy,

It's funny, I was just discussing with a friend the frequency of poetic allusions in everyday speech and writing, because they are very difficult for non-native speakers to pick up on, and I was very proud to have picked up a snippet of Hafez on my Persian test. I'm glad I recognized your bit as well, as it's something I probably read one time in high school literature class. Was that a reference to William Carlos Williams in there?
