Some people lose the true meaning of the poem by trying to take something out of it that is not there. Others do not get to enjoy the poetry because they are trying to find something that isnt really there.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. Robert Frost

By the end of the poem though, you miss it and wish it to go on and on because it was excellent.

Olivia Barbulescu- Period 7 “Most people ignore poetry because most poetry ignores people.”- Adrian Mitchell This quote shows how many people do not take the time to read over poetry and attempt to understand the true meaning.

Poetry is for each individual to interpret it in their own way.
Ariel C. Period 6 “Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”-Robert Frost
The meaning of this quote is that poems are difficult to interpret the meaning of because people connect to poems differently. The poet may write the poem hoping that it will be interpreted one way, but a reader may think about it a different way.

The poet could write a poem to mean one thing and the reader could interpret it a completely different way.
Shannon Zuccarelli (Period 6)- "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." - Robert Frost This quote means that when you read a poem, you can get a different meaning out of it than someone else.

Mike Gaudreau period 3 "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." - Robert Frost. This quote means that when you read a poem, you never get the intended meaning.

Another person could think the poem is sad while it may actually be sad. Therefore people have different perspectives on poetry. That is what Robert Frost means when he says "Poetry is what gets lost in translation."
This connects to the poem we read in class by Billy Collins because, his poem states that people try to find the meaning of poems by taking it apart one line by one while the poem has many different meanings to different people, because certain people may look at the poem differently compared to others.

Alissa H. period 7- "Poetry is what gets lost in translation" When someone reads a poem they take in their own perspective which might be completly differnt from the author's point of view. Poetry allows people to create their own meaning of it.
Mark Menniti A quote from a poem a can mean many difrent things depending the way the reader takes it one reader may take the quote as a sad thing but the author really ment it in a happy way.

This quote means that it is hard to interpret what the poet is thinking or feeling and you can't really explain it.

The meaning of this quote is that poems are difficult to interpret the meaning of because people connect to poems differently. The poet may write the poem hoping that it will be interpreted one way, but a reader may think about it a different way. When something gets lost in translation, the person who speaks thinks his words are being understood the way he wanted them to be and the person who hears them interprets them in a different way. This quote connects to the poem, "Introduction to Poetry" because the poem discusses how people dissect poems to find the true meaning, even though there is no true meaning because everyone interprets poems differently.

ReplyDelete"Poetry is what gets lost in translation." - Robert Frost.
This quote means that when you read a poem, you never get the intended meaning. You try to make words appear there that were never intended to be there. It is like if you make up a meaning that wasn't there in the first place.
