As can be seen from the subtitle of the poem, the speaker of this poem is a man who fell to the ground on a cold night, and the poem is exactly the fantasy he had at the moment of falling. In the poem, Hume made abstract things concrete and infinite things finite, which was contrary to the usual creative techniques of romantic poets. The distant starry sky was compared to a moth-bitten blanket. I even wanted to wrap myself in this blanket and lie down comfortably on the ground. At this point, "On the Embankment" is a representative work of Imagist poetry. It gets rid of the yearning for the invisible world in Romantic poetry and focuses on the description of a specific detail. Secondly, the rhythm of the whole poem is abcadcc. Although the rhythm is not particularly neat, it still has rules to follow, which once again adds to the musical beauty of the poem. The six poems written by Hume during his lifetime only have thirty-three lines each. It can be seen that each of his poems is very concise, and what the Imagist poets pursued was concise and direct poetry. Therefore, "On the Embankment" 》The length once again proves that Hume is a pioneer in the creation of image poetry, and he has made great contributions to the development of modern poetry.
