For instance, I can tell you that "There's a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons -- That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes --" not because I memorized Emily Dickinson in school when I was in high school, but because there was a girl when I was in high school, and her name was Amanda, and I had a crush on her, and she liked Emily Dickinson poetry.
Por exemplo, posso dizer que "Há um certo Viés da luz, Tardes de inverno.. Que oprime, como o Peso das melodias de uma Catedral... " não porque decorei Emily Dickinson durante o ensino médio, mas porque na escola havia uma garota chamada Amanda, e eu gostava dela e ela gostava  da poesia de Emily Dickinson.
