Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the final thing one hears of it.All discuss

15、ions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling interpretation of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once.
