ANALYSING POEM

1. TITLE: The ignoble procession
   Considering the title I am curious about the reason why the procession is ignoble. 
   I think that the poem is about a procession and that this is viewed from a negative point of view.

2. LAYOUT:
   When I see the ignoble procession
   streaming forth from little doorways
   citywards, in little rivers that swell to a great
   stream,
   
   of men in bowler hats, hurrying,
   and a mingling of wallet-carrying women
   hurrying, hurrying, legs going quick, quick, quick
   in ignoble haste, for fear of being late –
   I am filled with humiliation.
   
   Their haste
   is so
   humiliating.
   
   The poem is arranged into twelve lines. The lines are free.
