Hume's Above the Pier: "In the quiet pier,/in the middle of the night,/the moon was entangled in high masts and ropes,/it seemed impossible,/it was actually just a ball,/and the children left it there after playing." Overlapping the moon with the balloon image abandoned by children, using the moon to symbolize modern people and modern life, and overlapping with the balloon image with decorative significance, the moon is entangled between mast ropes, beauty is blasphemed, elegance is ridiculed, and modern people's feelings of depression, cold and loneliness arise spontaneously. Another example is Pound's "Girl" written to early lovers: "The tree enters my hand and the sap rises to my arm. /Trees grow down in my chest,/Branches grow on me,/Like arms. //You are a tree,/You are a moss,/You are a violet. /You are a child,/and in the eyes of the world, all this is stupid. " Poetry first superimposes and embellishes "I" with the image of a vibrant "tree", and then superimposes and embellishes "tree" with moss and violets. Obviously, the image of a tree is a symbol of girls and love, as youthful and beautiful as a moss violet, as vibrant as a green tree, nourishing the growth and life course of "I", although these are nonsense in the eyes of the world. In the superposition of images, we appreciate the beauty and gentleness of a violet-like girl and the tension of life like moss and green trees. 3? Image juxtaposition: juxtapose two visible images in different time and space to stimulate and arouse other feelings. Hume said: "The combination of two visible images can be called visual chord. Their combination gives people a different image from the two. " The juxtaposition of different images has caused feelings that have been divorced from the meaning of one of them and have a brand-new feeling. For example, China's poem "Fallen leaves are like the foam of a waterfall, but I think the long river always rolls forward", and the images of fallen leaves and rivers have been transformed into the meaning of getting rid of old cloth and heading for the future; "The cock crows in Maodian and the frost on the bridge is neglected" is a manifestation of the hardships and sufferings of a lonely wanderer who travels far, gets up early and stays late. As an iconic work of Imagist poetry, Pound's In the Subway Station;
These faces in the crowd are like ghosts,
Many petals on a wet black branch.
There are only two images in the poem. The faces in the crowd are juxtaposed with the petals on the black branches. This is an instantaneous image obtained from the people walking in a hurry, which writes the poet's instantaneous visual impression and instantaneous inner feelings. In the crowded subway station, the poet stood in the middle, and passers-by came face to face and hurried by. The whole atmosphere was gloomy and humid, suffocating. Several pale and beautiful faces of women and children appear and disappear from time to time, breaking this cold and dreary feeling and giving people a pleasant feeling, thus feeling some vitality. Two juxtaposed images are reflected in the brain, forming a picture of strong contrast between vulgarity and beauty, dampness and freshness. It not only shows the busy and mediocre life of urbanites, but also gives people a sense of squeezing, depicting the anxious, nervous and turbulent, busy and monotonous life reality of modern people, and also shows the attachment and yearning of the soul for natural beauty.
