Heiko, maybe I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that what you
personally get from a text changes as you get older. When I read certain
poems as a teenager I didn't always understand some of the more subtle
meanings which I understand when I read them now as an adult. I think that
as a teenager I often interpreted things in terms of what I hoped they meant
rather than what they really meant....which is why I say that as a teenager
one often reads things in a more romantic/idealistic manner.


Hope this makes sense.
