Summary

This quote highlights the notion that poetry isn't meant to be easily understood or grasped instantly. It challenges the reader's expectation of immediate understanding and implores them to have patience and persistence when engaging with poetry. Like any form of art, poetry demands time, reflection, and an open mind to fully appreciate its depths and complexities. It serves as a reminder that the exploration and understanding of poetry often requires effort and time, and the rewards come to those who delve deeper and embrace the process rather than seeking quick and shallow comprehension.
