Possibly Professor Collins was suggesting, with a shade of exasperation, that in addition to a multitude of meanings, the wealth of a poem includes cadence, the shape of sound, etc.
To my mind hThe persona of Introduction to Poetry, is protecting what he cherishes, in its many facets, from being diminished and appreciated less holistically than by meaning alone.
I, myself, enjoy poetryanalysis, when it sheds light o all that I have missed. I find it both exhilerating & cringeworthy to wrestle with.
There are so many viewpoints

Ask the ET to write some verse for Bonnie. Doggerel permitted, although Bonnie might prefer something a bit more meaty.

At times someone articulates, shapes, sounds, paints that which expresses what ypOu didn’t,t previously acutely recognize. Like discovering a word in a foreign tongue for which there is no equivalent in your native language and illuminates an aspect of your own reality.
Emily Dickinson does that for me. (there’s a certain shaft of light winter afternoon/ that oppresses like the heft of catHedral tunes/heavenly hurt it gives us/ yet it leaves no scar
/ except internal difference where the meanings are.) bastard version by me.
Analysts and inventory takers, including myself, are fascinated by what made this off-the-wall and penetrating Lu insightful woman tick.
Today, I read that Kurt Vonnegut was held
Prisoner in a slaughterhouse in Dresden during WWII…should I ever re-read his work, that may affect my understanding. so it goes.

Also rubbishy at rebuses but still see the poet at JFKs inauguration speaking in the wind. Don’t often stop to wonder what might have been.

Briefly,
how I Learned the Word Suttee
Beloved Siamese (1994-2005) named Satie in tribute to Erik, lead us to discover the meaning of homophone and alternative suttee.
He was a gentle soul who lived in harmony w a darling but volatile Maltese named Lily
As befits the subject, both their ashes rest in little urns on top of the piano
I think it’s uncommon

« on: October 26, 2023, 07:43:20 AM »Perhaps as an Eastcoast North American who is seriously unschooled in the hard sciences not to mention the devastating impact gelignite has wrought abroad, my ignorance of this word speaks volumes about my education. Thankfully forums such as this enable us to learn and understand one another.
