Fashions and Lasting Feeling
Pound mocks a once-celebrated piece or trend that provoked excitement when new but has since become a tired, obsolete fashion. He compares it to dated garments and transient curiosities to show its loss of substance. The only thing left is a hollow sentiment—an emotion reduced to the shallow, performative feelings of a maitre-d'hôtel—suggesting public taste and novelty, not lasting artistic value, defined its success.
Read Complete AnalysesO chansons foregoing You were a seven days' wonder. When you came out in the magazines You created considerable stir in Chicago, And now you are stale and worn out, You're a very depleted fashion, A hoop-skirt, a calash, An homely, transient antiquity. Only emotion remains. Your emotions? Are those of a maitre-de-cafe.
