I read this poem silently first and there was no tone and i had a harder time where the author was coming from or what the purpose was, I couldn't really understand it. Once I read it out loud twice I grasped the way the poem was supposed to sound and the tone of what the author was trying to say. It questions wether or not its possible to see the world objectively rather than through the eyes of another person in emotion. Reading out loud readings rather than in my head have always helped me more than reading it silently.
