One day, a poet was requested to interpret an especially peculiar and obscure passage from one of his own poems. His response was "at the time that I was writing that particular verse, only God and myself knew its meaning. Now, it is only God who knows." What did the poet mean by his answer?
A. God is much wiser than people are
B. Most people can't understand poetry
C. Poets don't often know where their creative inspiration comes from
D. The poet has forgotten the meaning of his own verse
Explanation: The poet humorously couches the fact that he forgot what he meant by saying only he and God knew at the time, and now only God knows-i.e., now he himself does not know.
