I get the "hype" surrounding it, and I imagine it was original and singular in its era... But I barely enjoyed it.
It had some pretty beautiful and lyrical writing in it, and yet so many problematic themes and sentences as well. But as the format I read mentioned, it's not an "unscathed" representation of his work; it has been polished, changed, misrepresented, misunderstood and even experimented with in the theatre.
So I guess, we really cannot know "what the poet was trying to say."
