"L'apparition de ces visages dans la foule Pétales sur une branche noire et mouillée"
— Ezra Pound
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you're standing in a busy train station, and you see lots of different faces passing by. Each face is unique and interesting, like how flowers on a tree branch look different from one another. Just like petals are beautiful and stand out on a dark, wet branch, each person's face has its own story and individuality, even in a big, bustling crowd. For instance, consider walking in a park after it has rained. You notice wet flower petals on a dark tree branch. Similarly, in a busy place filled with many people, each person shines in their own way, just like those petals. It might help to appreciate how each person adds a special touch to the world, much like flowers adding beauty to a tree. By recognizing and valuing these small details, you can find unique beauty and meaning in everyday moments and interactions.
