Pera Pound

In a Station of the Metro

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

This poem has a dark mood. The poet is speaking with a sad tone. The poem talks about people’s darkness inside them. Also, it talks about their loneliness by using the image of leafs on a branch of a tree, where the branch is also dark. The image shows how people are separated from one another even though they are on the same tree.
