“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
— Robert Frost
Simplified Meaning:
When the writer doesn't feel strong emotions while writing, the reader won't feel those emotions either. If the writer isn't surprised, the reader won't be surprised.
