“When members of the London Poetry Society asked Browning to interpret a particularly difficult passage of Sordello, he read it twice, frowned, then admitted, "When I wrote that, God and I knew what I meant, but now God alone knows."

An unholy alliance of writers and readers is at work here.” WritingCriticsReaders And WritersGibberishRobert FrostLondon Poetry Society Book:The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend Fear Source: The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend Fear
