In a Station of the Metro

 In a Station of the Metro" is one of the greatest expressions and short poems that Pound has written because he was able to say so much with so little. I can completely relate to the feeling of being at a loss of words to describe how a scene can make someone feel or the inability to describe how beautiful a place that once looked just like another ordinary every day setting. Usually when anyone steps into to the metro station their mind is elsewhere thinking about what they are going to do that day or how much longer until their day is over.  No one ever really pays attention to the surroundings and the amazing things, such as a beautiful face of a child that Pound described in the footnote. "The apparition of these faces in the crowd/ Petals on a wet, black bough." This expression says so much about how an ordinary setting when getting out of a metro train can change into something completely different when you take the time to slow down and take a closer look.
