Reading & interpreting poetry could be compared to use of a switchblade; one can find different sides, angles & meanings from one text and use those discoveries differently because all have their own functions... without intrepretative competence (i.e. knowledge of how to operate the blades) you have only a dull object without no meaning but spatial futility – and if you get all the different blades out at the same time (i.e. read poem trying to reason too much with it) this aesthetical gadget can’t be used to anything. Few blades and functions on one interpretation, few more for some other purpose next time.
