Kezia Dillon discussion week 12

One way I would rephrase the quote “Reading a poem is part attitude and part technique” I would rephrase it by saying “ while reading a poem the way you interpret it can have a difference” 

 In the poem “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” is very much a love poem to show how he understands and grasp the life of his wife he used different things to match her with. “Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;“If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs are wires, black wires grow on her head.” While reading this line I had to reread multiple times to fully understand what the other meant. I tried different tones and ways of saying but in the end he was using words to describe his wife in a bad way. But also with a fast read you’ll think it is a love letter like I thought in the beginning of reading it.
