interpretation

0 I'm not sure if i post this question in the correct subforum..02br
02br
00When a person interprets a poem's meaning, is that like an opinion? Can a person's opinion be totally correct about the meaning? 02br
02br
00Are only the authors of the poems know what the true meaning is?02br
02br
00How do I know if a person's interpretation is completely correct?02br
02br
00Thanks. 0-

>02br 02br 00Anyway, can anyone ever really know that someone's interpretation (other than the original writer) is "correct"? No, I don't think so. But if it you can sense that interpretation and meaning when you read the poem, it's correct for you, I guess.
