In Ezra Pound’s short two-lined poem, he depicts the dreary scene of a busy metro station. Pound’s deliberate choice of words such as wet and dark builds on this cheerless setting. The word apparition suggests that glimpses of people at the station are fleeting and always changing, creating a tone of unpredictability or even unreliability. The unusual structure of the poem forces a blending of two separate thoughts: the abrupt presence of passengers and petals on a tree. As the passengers come and go from the station, their faces begin to resemble petals on a dark and dreary bough.
