their image is blurred.

Nothing my thumbs press
will ever be heard.

Open text is one of a pair of terms popularized by Eco to refer to kinds of interpretative interactions between text and reader. An open text, unlike a closed one such as a work of popular fiction, is not aimed at a specific reader in a specific social context.

The open text constructs the model of its own reader as part of its structural strategy. ~ Katie Wales

The joy of reading is in discovery; a good writer creates, "gaps, spaces, and absences," in a richly layered text. He/she creates a desire in the reader to strive for meaning.
