My AP/H English IV teacher recently gave me a stapled-together, xeroxed
copy of an article (from Collier's, I think) called "How to Peel a
Poem." In it, a handful of poets discuss their favorite poems. Toward
the end, when the discussion began to involve the significance of a
poet's intent, one of them said (I'm paraphrasing):
God, in his infinite wisdom, made poems far wiser than poets.
