Analysis and comments on Alba by Ezra Pound

Comment 4 of 4, added on January 12th, 2006 at 7:20 PM.

Alba is a true representation of imagism .
it deals with objects as imagism is the poetry of objects .It also reflects
Pound's influence by the images of nature , namely the Japanese hyko .by
the lily , cool , Pound means that nature becomes cool in emotions as the
life in the metropolis .

Compare with "The Garret." I bet he wrote this one later. Both great poems,
similar idea; this one pared down even further.

This poem is very beautiful and represents a persons happiness to see their
love beside them in the morning...
