Deeper Inner Meanings

Let us ponder the words and phrases poets and artists have used as we delve into obvious and deeper inner meanings. What is exact origin of these so often quoted famous choice chosen words? A spontaneous eureka phrase born instantly in the mind or a protracted laboured discourse cunningly created a deliberate conceit. Writers so love their ingenious imaginative poetic chosen images writing must contain such images as metaphor simile personification a comparison which is extreme or far-fetched wins accolades. However the exact meaning as envisaged by moods of original penmanship are not conceived embodied as a clone interpretation by readers separated by time space cultural bias. We the reader impose individualistic insightful meaning as dictated by personal taste possibly skilled literary criticism. Rhetoric discourse read might be described as a clever trick of arbitrary whim, written by magicians of illusion; yet many scripts can be traced to proven historical events which occurred in the artists lifetime. Good criticism will progress from an introductory How into What a text means, based upon insightful and plausible readings, with appropriate quotes to sustain the argument chosen.
