ur answer is above ...???!
In the poem, A photograph, the poet uses epithet to describe her mother's memories.
1) "Terribly transient" is used for her mother's feet. Although by terribly transient she refers to the temporality of human existence. Life is transient and everything passes with time.
2) In the poem the poet uses "Through their (hair)" to convey how her mother and her mother's cousins' smile is visible through their hair falling on their face.
3) Here the expression "both wry" is used for the pasts of her mother and hers. She says that her mother's past was the sea holiday and her past is her mother's presence. Both the pasts are wry meaning expressing mocking or humour. As it is gone.
4) The expression "laboured ease" refers to the ease achieved with labour or effort. It refers to the acceptance of loss and living with it.
