When David Long declares that the strangeness is an antidote to the awful sameness of received ideas[4]there is no complexity in the wording, but the very meaning of the phrase goes beyond these mere words, and triggers reflexion, which is the point in which it reaches the boundaries of meaning, in creating a string of thoughts that will perpetuate itself further. One could say that the meaning is exceeded, and the boundaries breached. This is a distinctive feature of great poetry; it doesnt assert, but conveys meaning and generates thoughts and emotion. If the poem only asserts and gives closure, what can the interest be for the reader? If it is self-explanatory and doesnt involve the reader, it is not worth reading. Thus when P. Mullineaux describes his teacher leaning over one shoulder;/saying nothing,/(a cough perhaps)/moving on[5], he doesnt describe his feelings, he doesnt tell the reader what the meaning of it is, but rather lets them remember times when the same situation happened to them, and think upon these moments and their significance.
