As you have often done before, Jon, you seem to have it in for 'us' academics:
"I keep forgetting that most of you are academics at least by training if
not by profession and
therefore will make the mistake of believing that if I say that one
interpretation is true I must also be saying that any other interpretations
which it logically precludes are false."
None of the 'academics' I know think that way. And I would certainly assume
that no poet would.
What's your problem?
