The right reader

Morning all!
I trust the weekend is treating you well.
I came across a quote this morning that I think you’ll all enjoy-
“It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of agood poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound — that he will never get over it.”
Very true, wouldn’t you agree?
