In a Station of the Metro（ezra pound）
The first line, which is the title, places us in an subway. Here we use the senses of our imagination to place us there. Is the air heavy and damp? Is the subway dark and smell of sweat and mildew? Before we even read the second line we have become emotionally involved witht he people in the subway.
The second line I see individual faces with the anticipation or experience of the day displayed upon their faces. I see the beauty of what each individual contributes to our daily lives and how we as a society rely on one another, even if we are just "faces in the crowd."
The third line I saw the faces of Petals of a flower bringing beauty to an otherwise dismal, wet and dark existence. Each petal being unique in it's own way giving meaning and purpose to what would be a dark, depressing world.
