Second day of class:

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


In a Dorm of the Uni
The student ponders Pound;
And thinks, modernism sucks.

Pound is fucking great though. "In a station of the metro" is probably too familiar to people because it's short, quick to read, and easy to anthologize, when really I'd say it's quite a minor work ; but it succeeds at what it's trying to do. It's an aesthetic exercise more than anything else.
