To try to argue that the real meaning of a poem can be discovered only if the reader brings to bear upon it abstruse , quasi - biographical “ evidence ” , and tiny , washed - up bits of etymological detritus , makes the reading and understanding of poetry into an elitist sport - cum - parlour game , undermining the notion that poetry has a universal appeal 如果說,只有當讀者能夠使用詩歌深奧的、傳記般的“證據” ,以及微小無用的語源學零星,才能發掘詩歌的真意,那么,閱讀和理解詩歌就變成了一場只有精英才能參與的半運動半消遣的游戲,破壞了詩歌具有大眾感染力這個觀念。
