The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
Image
You've often heard me say - perhaps too often - that poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation. That little poem means just what it says and it says what it means, nothing less but nothing more.

Nature's first green is gold.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost

That day she put our heads together, Fate had her imagination about her, Your head so much concerned with outer, Mine with inner, weather.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep but I have promises to keep...
