Summary

This quote suggests that in addition to reading and analyzing poems in class, there are two important things to do when teaching poetry. First, the teacher should strive to impart as much knowledge as possible while remaining open-minded. Second, the teacher should emphasize that poetry is a unique form of communication that is distinct from logical explanations or essays. This implies that poetry should be approached and understood in a different way, allowing for the exploration of emotions, symbolism, and artistic expression that may not follow strict logical reasoning.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
