I’ll extrapolate from this to my own experience of poetry, which is that I need to slow down. The inclination to bang through it at my ordinary reading speed has to be resisted; each line needs to be examined in itself and in the context of the poem. Reading it out loud, or hearing it read, would of necessity do this.
