I finally have a favourite poem...

So I'm in a regular first year English course, and we do what any other first year English student would- we analyse poetry. Two days ago, I came across a poem that honestly had me spellbound. I mean, it makes so much sense while at the same time being so abstract. Thought I'd post it on here.

In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet black bough.

-Ezra Pound

And now I am going to try and cite this properly :P
Pound, Ezra. "In a Station of the Metro." The Broadview Anthology of Poetry. Ed. Herbert Rosengarten and Amanda Goldrick-Jones. Ontario: Broadview Press Ltd., 1993.
