Here the contradiction lies between comparing the lights - in one statement lamps are apples and they are casting light on faces wheres as in the other statemrnt the apples and dead and withered.
Context: The dead and withered apples  of light hang from the street’s long bough dripping their light on the faces that drift below.
Hypothesis: The great gold apples of light hang from the street’s long bough dripping their light on the faces that drift below.

Is the hypothesis incorrect? (Yes, no, or unknown)?
