Sub City Paris

Inspired by Ezra Pound's metro poem, a lyrical study of the magical, uncertain moment Parisians emerge from the metro into the city light.

A tiny, elegant city poem set to Duke Ellington that captures the magic of stepping into daylight.

"Three years ago in Paris I got out of a "metro" train at La Concorde, and saw suddenly a beautiful face... I could not find any words that seemed to me worthy, or as lovely as that sudden emotion." - Ezra Pound
