This sentence in my opinion expresses the opinion about the poetry that versification (into stanzas, lines etc.) should be regarded as the element that has a subjective influence on the very meaning of a poem. The structure and layout of a poem are important in the sense that it conveys the feelings and themes of a poem and gives the work an influence and impact on the reader through the divisions that create pauses in the poem, some lines more emphatic and creates the rhythm in the poem
