A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.

A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent limitations of communication through poetry. While a poem has the ability to generate an impact, it acknowledges that the audience may not fully grasp the subtleties and intricate details embedded within the poem. Poetry often conveys metaphorical or complex ideas that might require deeper analysis and interpretation. Hence, the quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing that full comprehension of a poem's nuances should not be presumed by the audience, as the beauty and impact of poetry can still be appreciated even without complete understanding.
