While both AE Housman's "Loveliest of Trees" and Ezra Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" employ trees as vehicles for their sentiments on individuality, those sentiments vary wildly. "Loveliest of Trees" envisions a bright world open to a wandering seeker, whereas "In a Station of the Metro" conveys an image of a faceless crowd penned into a dark, small space.
