Meaning
This reads as a quiet argument for returning to the same material again and again, because each encounter changes the artist. It suggests that repetition is not redundancy, but a way of discovering new shades in familiar work. In rehearsal or revival, it lands as a reminder that older plays can still teach the people staging them something unexpected.
