"In a Station of the Metro" by Ezra Pound

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

In the poem, Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris; 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.
source, wiki though i got the poem elsewhere and the knowledge of it.
