Beautiful ambiguity of meaning in laconic verse. Is the bright shy smile a mask and an outward facade for a fundamental intrinsic sorrow or is the smile an unfettered release of joy enabled only by the cleansing and purging action of the ocean of tears?
Precisely! Literature is best when it can interact with the reader's subjectivity to acquire new and different meanings, sometimes even beyond the author's intentionality.
