In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough


This is a very famous poem by the pioneer of imagism Ezra Pound. Imagist uses poetry to give a clear image through words. Imagism is considered to be the first organized modernist literary movement in the English language. The Imagists rejected the sentiment and discursiveness. Imagists had a directness of presentation, the economy of language, and a willingness to experiment with non-traditional verse forms; Imagists used free verse. It is influenced by avant-garde movements like cubism.

Nothing but an image with even small detailing. This poem
