(Around this noon around Tokyo)* In a Humble Spring Tempest *
(They say: a divorce rate is increasing in Iran; many Romanian children have been desperately left behind by mothers who go to work in Western Europe; and so many otherwise-school boys and girls are forced to work all day in cotton fields in India...)
In 1910's, poetry was undergoing renovation in the U.K. and the U.S. under the influence of "haiku," a Japanese style of short poem. Hence a poet depicted a scene in an underground railroad station in Paris:
In a Station of the Metro
Ezra Pound
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
Note: This poem is said to aim at catching a moment of the meeting of two inherently different items...at a tube station of Paris in the early 20th century...Oh, Come On!
