"It's not necessary for a poem to have just one meaning," said Anne, lifting the lid of the churn to peek inside for just one moment, but it was far too early for it to have separated. "Though of course it had a meaning, in the mind of the poet, when it was being written. It's possible to appreciate it without knowing. Just like it's possible for your fans to appreciate your music, without knowing. Perhaps they put their own meaning on it, like you did when you first read the poem, imagining it's about death, or about being drunk, about something that means something to them personally."
