السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة ..
أحببت أن أشارككم بالقصيده والشرح لها .. الشرح بسيط وأعتقد أنه كافي عن الكثير من الشروحات المطوله ..

نبداء أولا ً بالقصيدة ..

The apparition of these faces in the crowd

Petals on a wet, black bough

بس أنتهت القصيدة

الآن الشرح ..

The poem is incredibly short – but meaningful – and takes the meaning of short poems to its purest form. However, the images are captivating and make the poem move beyond the literal, for the two images that stand out are APPARITION and PETALS. When one thinks of apparition, the first thing that comes to mind is a ghostly figure. When one thinks of petals, something delightful comes to mind.
Thus, Pound takes the two words and morphs them together as one to get a greater visual effect, meaning that when he saw mysterious faces in the crowd with various colors and shapes, it was a good-looking sight in his eyes. The poem shows that whatever color, size, or shape a person is, he or she still has some characteristics of beauty – regardless of his/her outer appearance
