Greetings and thank you for a rich interpretation of this very visual, very lonesome poem
Thank you so much, your explanation made me understand the poem and view it in a new light
Great interpretation, thanks!
Thank you very much for this great explanation 😊
Thank you Mr. Blackburn for your help commenting on this poem of a such good Modernist poet. Just reading the review my book provides me (for the exam) and the poem itself is not enough for me to grasp a clear idea of its meaning. By listening you, I just learnt a lot about this poem and I reached further in my insight, developing some new ideas about several other significances. Thanks a lot again for your own reading of this Haiku-like piece of art.
Regards from Spain!
helped me a lot. Thank you
Thank you! It helps a lot!
thank you very much ..by the way i LOVE your accent
I enjoyed this lecture very much, although I personally do not think that Pound intended to say "faces are like apparitions" and then goes on saying "faces are like petals" to my mind he compares "the fact that the faces appear" to s sharp contrast, i.e. petals on a black wet bough. To my mind, "wet" is chosen to emphasize the darkness here because wet bark tends to absorb more light than dry one.
the word apparition is chosen because it's the only non-verbal version of "to appear" that stresses the fact that something "pops out of nowhere", wheras "appearance" is just a synonym for "looks". In my point of view, "apparition" has nothing to do with ghosts.
''Simple, stark imagery'' - Pound the Profound.
Wim Grundy thanks
Hi can make a video of imagism as how to use or analyze or a movement
you yourself Are an apparition Sir
😂
What metro station?? And when did EP say so, I can't find it anywhere.
La Concorde. As recounted by Pound in an article, "How I Began", in TP's Weekly (1913) and referenced in various publications, including Noel Stock's The Life of Ezra Pound (p.170, the 1974 edition).
Thank you so much!! I could make out what you said in the video ... probably because it's in French 😅
me too
20th American century I hate this book
I have taught English and I publish poetry. This guy is so full of himself and so willing to complicate Pound's poem. It's an old saw: "We murder to dissect" (Wordsworth).. "Professors" like this make me sick. He's a pedant.
