    I think the general idea of the  poem is the difference between a logical, linear way of thinking and and a more fragmented, instinctive way. The broken images, in this sense, may  give a more real view because they don't try to impose an order and completeness which don't exist.

    The last lines suggest that "understanding" in this linear, ordered sense actually leads to more confusion; whereas the "broken" thinker. Who accepts the illogic and chaos of reality, by looking at things as they are gradually comes to a new understanding of himself and the world.
