lucir also means to display or to wear Explanation: hence, although this is a poem...lucir may not necessarily mean shining strictly speaking...I would imagine that women are the ones that are apparent, showing, shining... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2005-09-22 01:02:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or that seem be to be apparent, as Marina points out, please don't ask me the rational meaning, this is a poem after all :) |

while they seem to appear Explanation: El diccionario Vox del español da como un significado de la palabra "aparente" como lo siguiente: "Que aparece y se muestra a la vista." En este sentido, me parece que son las miradas que "seem to appear". Just my take on it; this is not an easy one! Suerte, Bill |

while they appear brilliant (or shining) Explanation: I think it actually does mean to shine here, because it's talking about the looks around corners that appear brilliant (or shiny), but have nothing behind them but a blank mind. I’m not 100% sure, though, because it's a bit abstruse, and because my literary sensibilities are not that sharp in Spanish. |
