The poem “In a Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound and the short story ”The Killers” by Ernest Hemingway offer us much insight into the modern world and society. ... Pound’s short ”one- image poem” ”In a Station of the Metro” can be considered one of the high points of Imagist poetry (a modernistic movement dedicated to concreteness and economy).

Imagist poetry was opposed to truly modernist poetry in that it did not seek to glorify technology. ... Pound could be making a Biblical allusion.
