ANSWER:"In A Station of the Metro" is an Imagist poem by Ezra Pound published in April 1913[1] in the literary magazine Poetry.[2] In the poem, Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris in 1912; he suggested that the faces of the individuals in the metro were best put into a poem not with a description but with an "equation". Because of the treatment of the subject's appearance by way of the poem's own visuality, it is considered a quintessential Imagist text.[3]
Answer:
The Railway Junction by Walter dela Mare signifies the journey of life that the poet contemplates at the crossroad 'through the tunneled gloom the track forked into two' which could be either dark future 'darkening hills' or hope for the future 'distant seas'. He chooses one and realizes how different it is from the one he was leading on. The stillness and peace that he experiences there, he knows, is for a short while, for after some time more people would join the journey there and he would also be gone. He thinks whether the other people like him in the journey of life would reach their destination, whether they will get to 'nocturnal hills or shores. Though he has traveled the train of life with other com travelers, he never knew others purpose to travel.
