works appreciation
This poem can be said to come from the poet's direct experience of real life. The description in the first line has a realistic side: the dark crowd is in a hurry, and the light and shadow are intertwined. These faces are like "ghosts".
The appearance of poetry lies in the use of this strange metaphor: why do these faces have to be represented by strange and beautiful images such as ghosts? Is it just to describe that the beauty in modern life is hard to find, hard to retain and fleeting? It can be said that this is the mystery of modern poetry.
