"In A Station of the Metro '' is an Imagist poem by Ezra Pound published in 1913 in the literary magazine Poetry. In the poem, Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris in 1912; Pound suggested that the faces of the individuals in the metro were best put into a poem not with a description but with an "equation ''. Because of the treatment of the subject 's appearance by way of the poem 's own visuality, it is considered a quintessential Imagist text.
