Actually, Philip, what I did was indicate how I felt about the poem. I didn't even know what the Imagist camp was (although I could sort of figure it out from context) when I read your remarks, and had to google. My choice of
In a Station of the Metro - which turns out, I gather, to be one of the icons of Imagist poetry - was pure chance. I was googling, trying to find another poem I half-remembered which contained an image of a woman and a scarf floating in the air (as I recalled it) and stumbled into the Pound poem, which also worked for me. So please don't apply labels in my behalf. I do it frequently enough on my own.
