I have chosen “In a Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound

The poem is basically a set of pictures that have a startling resemblance and pass on the

uncommon feeling that the author was encountering at that time. Seemingly, the heart of the

poem isn't the primary line, nor the second, but the mental preparation that joins the two

together. This poem oversees to distinctively bring out both an inundated metro station and

petals on a branch of a tree. By comparing these two exceptionally diverse pictures, the sonnet

obscures the line between the speaker's reality and creative energy and welcomes the peruser to

relate urban life to that of nature and to maybe consider each of these domains in a new light.

This is seen with the "Apparition" which entails a sense of monotony, which leads into the next

metaphorical device of the "crowd" itself; specifically the faces in the crowd of the station. It is

at the final line of the "petals" that we come to understand that both imagery represent polar

opposites of the world we live in today.
