Explicating a Poem

Part of the "Award Winning Professors Series"*
"Poetry if speech framed...to be heard for its own sake." - Gerard Manley Hopkins.
Some speak of "analyzing" poetry. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) reveals the unfortunate metaphorical origins of "analyze": "to take to pieces...to dissect, decompose." The same dictionary says the verb "explicate" is gentler, more respectful of its subject: "to unfold, unroll; to smooth out (wrinkles); to open out (what is wrapped up); to expand (buds, leaves, etc.)." The steps in this Permachart, followed with care can open up, explicate, a poem.
