Hilda Doolittle and Imagism

Imagism is, as its title alludes, a style and era of poetry in which images are highly important. Most poetry uses imagery or figurative speech in some sense, but Imagism is known for its "clarity of expression through the use of precise visual images" and its depiction of ideas with very precise language, void of excess words. 

I THE HARD sand breaks,
And the grains of it
Are clear as wine.
Far off over the leagues of it,
The wind,	5
Playing on the wide shore,
Piles little ridges,
And the great waves
Break over it.
But more than the many-foamed ways	10
Of the sea,
I know him
Of the triple path-ways,
Hermes,
Who awaiteth.	15
Dubious,
Facing three ways,
Welcoming wayfarers,
He whom the sea-orchard
Shelters from the west,	20
From the east
Weathers sea-wind;
Fronts the great dunes.
Wind rushes
Over the dunes,	25
And the coarse, salt-crusted grass
Answers.
Heu,
It whips round my ankles!

This poem demonstrates the extreme simplicity of verbiage, trademark to this movement.
I actually think it is boring. Imagism followed in the footsteps of Georgian Romanticism and was apparently annoyed with its predecessors use of muddy and abstract descriptions.The goal of most imagist poets was to create an idea or image in the mind of the reader instantaneously and without confusion.
