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!
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.
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).
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.
