I have a vague recollection of Lewis writing something along the lines of, "Authors intend, readers ____ ," where ____ is something "understand."
The gist is that, while writers might mean to convey a specific idea, it is readers that ultimately interpret the text.
I'd be grateful if anyone can provide the real text and its source. I've tried Googling extensively but for a short, simple phrase, it's difficult.
