The idea
Solving the grammar of a line settles what it says, not what it does. Tone, imagery and the speaker's attitude are separate questions, answered in the units that follow. Grammar is the floor of a reading rather than the whole of it.
In practice
Grammar settles what it says.
Where people slip
