Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Greatness, the speaker suggests, comes with being misunderstood. Those who go beyond ordinary thinking will not be readily grasped by others, so incomprehension is almost a mark of distinction. The paradox turns being misread from a failing into a sign of scale, though it also hints at loneliness.
