Interpretation

Definition: The way someone perceives something.

Example:

A slumber did my spirit seal,
            I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
            The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
            She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
            With rocks, and stones, and trees.

Significance: One of the great things about poems is that they can be interpreted in different ways, it's not the same experience for everyone.
