The poem is Pound's written counterpart of the discovery and deep emotion he had at the Concorde station of the Paris Metro. The poem is mainly a collection of pictures that bear an uncanny resemblance and represent the unique mood that Pound was experiencing at the time. The poem can be considered as a diary entry where Pound expresses his feelings about life, love, and nature through images. Ezra Pound was a British poet who lived from 1885-1972. He is best known for his revolutionary work with language which included innovative use of metre and syntax. His poems are often difficult to understand but this only adds to their power. Pound was born into a wealthy family but he lost his father when he was still young and then his mother died too. This left him with no support system and so he decided to move abroad to study. He went to live with his aunt and her husband who were artists in Italy. It was here that he began to write poetry seriously. He returned to England and started his own magazine called "Poetry". This lasted for six years during which time he published many of his works including Hilda Doolittle. In 1908, he founded the literary journal "The London Magazine". This became one of the most popular magazines of its time and helped establish him as a major figure in modern literature.
