T. S. Eliot:
I do not think of enjoyment and understanding as distinct activities--one emotional and the other intellectual...It is certain that we do not fully enjoy a poem unless we understand it; and, on the other hand, it is equally true that we do not fully understand a poem unless we enjoy it.
