The concept is clear. Ideas in the poem are like the great paintings of the
Greeks. It shows us who we are, who we were, and who we could be if we can
relate ourselves in the poem. Not all poems will mean the same thing to
everyone, because as individuals, we bring unique experience to every poem
we read. But we also must be careful to honor the poems we read by letting
it say to us what it meant to say. To do this, we must listen to it, really
LISTEN to it because, as such, it speaks a lot to me.
