Tenets of Imagism

• Direct treatment of the thing, whether
  subjective or objective.
• To use absolutely no word that does not
  contribute to the presentation.
• As regarding rhythm to compose in the sequence
  of the musical phrase, not the sequence of a
  metronome.

In a Station of the Metro

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