The Beauty of Language Lost on the Student

"I read it...I just want you to tell me what it means..."

“Why do authors say things in such complicated ways?”
A question in Lit class, heard on most days.
“Why can’t they just turn the simple phrase
In their short stories, and novels, and poems, and plays?”
