Pound is a famous American poet and an important representative of Imagist poetry movement in the early 20th century. His image view emphasizes that poetry creation should be based on concrete images, and through vivid and accurate description, the poet's emotions and images of things can be closely combined to achieve implicit and concise results.
In Pound's imagist view, he advocates creating vivid and perceptive images through feeling, observation and imagination based on objective things, rather than through direct narration or elaboration. He emphasized that poetry should get rid of abstract and empty language and express emotions and thoughts with concrete images.
Accordingly, Pound opposed comments and sighs in poetry. In his view, discussion and exclamation are manifestations of subjective consciousness, which easily make poetry abstract and empty, and fail to achieve the concrete and vivid pursuit of imagists. He also opposed the use of overly complicated language and rhetoric in poetry, but emphasized the use of concise words and images to express emotions and thoughts.
