Poem of the Week: "In a Station of the Metro", E.

[Le Noir Faineant]

This week, a short haiku by Ezra Pound. A great poet, too bad that he turned nazi in his later years. These lines are ambivalent - giving me a feeling of creepiness as well as of cosiness.

Until next week,

Rafael

In A Station Of The Metro

by: Ezra Pound (Published/Written in 1916)

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