I distinctly remember the prevailing social attitude toward a person blind from birth. of data or of memories; Like the cat-like fog that rubs itself lazily upon the cityscape, the poem curls about and about, its beautifully drifting, self-interrupting sentences repeatedly putting off the moment of coming to a full stop. It makes for a deep sense of loneliness, but it is also freeing to recognize you are free to perceive “reality” any way you want, within the constraints of physical limitations. ( Log Out / 

Two paragraphs, two topics. ‘Let us go’, Prufrock repeats, and again, ‘Let us go’; but the movements of the poetry have already established by the end of the first verse that we are occupying a consciousness that is destined to go nowhere very much. We see what we want to see and we interpret what we see from our particular viewpoint.

Popular Song Lyrics. I was surprised at the number of interpretations but this is my favourite:

He is a man paralysed by an overwhelming anxiety about the possibility of getting things wrong: his judgement has such nicety and fastidiousness that it never arrives at decision, let alone action. Does that mean I have to learn to like poetry? That’s a rhetorical question, I suppose. The language of the opening line is decisiveness itself, and involves a determination to get going, along with a firm address to another person; but the sense of purpose is quickly dissipated as the speaker becomes absorbed in a lyrical evocation of the light effects of dusk, which in turn then gets waylaid by the sheer oddity of the simile that seems to come, unsolicited, to his mind to describe them.

Front cover to T S Eliot’s Prufrock, and other observations published by The Egoist in 1917.

In her review of Prufrock and other Observations May Sinclair addresses how T S Eliot’s poetry challenged conventional public taste. the shadow of a planet but from awareness). Alfred Prufrock’.

Till human voices wake us And we drown, and we drown Seductive and impeccable abuse You do it to yourself I bet you know you do I love you cause I do it to you too [Verse 2] These lofty thoughts are killing me Preoccupied by what I could be I get so high on my ideals Don't call … swimming an alien sea ... Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

I’ve gone through one of those tunnels many times. Because no one but you will ever hold your brush.

She dies with a smile on her lips. But the last line conveys that there is no escape from the poised chat over the tea cups: ‘Till human voices wake us, and we drown.’ The poem does not mock Prufrock’s dreamy romanticism, which it voices very beautifully; and while it could hardly be called a resolute ending, it is the right one. That we are always alone is something I became gradually aware of as all my ‘collective’ commitments fell by the wayside, one after the other until none were left.

( Log Out /  This is for Sophia’s Song Lyric Drawing contest. The play between the belated romanticism of an evening ‘spread out against the sky’ and the incongruous modernity of ‘a patient etherised upon a table’ purposefully sets different sorts of world in juxtaposition: the poetical and the medical, the lyrical and the hospital; and this juxtapositional method will be the main way the poem gets to work. I’ve known of those “eonic” presences for a very long time. The world is filled with potential friends, particularly in the animal kingdoms! Though it may come across as empty boasting, I can truthfully claim that I’ve also met some of them… and some of them are quite scary. Presumably with some degree of levity, given the nature of the authority upon which he was commenting, Eliot wrote ‘The Prufrock Complex’ next to these words from the report of a palm-reader: ‘when faced with a personal problem, any prolonged contemplation of probabilities merely produces hesitancy and indecision’. He never talked down to me and we had long talks, mostly about his own life of which details I forced out of him so I could make up stories in my mind – I was of course unable to read and no one would take the time to read stories for me so everything I knew was what I heard, and sensed. Eliot said later in life that he chose the name because it sounded ‘very very prosaic’, though it probably sounds more eccentric than prosaic to most readers, even a bit of a joke name; but Browning offered examples of characters with bizarre or even cartoonish names (Bishop Blougram, Mr Sludge, Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau) who revealed within their poems a seriousness of predicament that we might not have expected to find.

Prufrock is one of the great inventions of the modern literary imagination: he has become an archetype for the ‘complex’ of over-scrupulous timidity.

Well, yes. never were in real life; and the ‘you’ of ‘you and me’ that comes later – ‘here beside you and me’ and ‘some talk of you and me’ – does not feel like the same addressee, or indeed an addressee who is really present at all.

Sucking on exhaust is not a healthy thing to do. Then I came to see that I could be much more effective community-wise as an independent, individual, self empowered being. Eliot begins his poem with what is by any standards a linguistic misjudgement and might seem just a comic stroke – to include of all things a pronominal initial in the name, as one might on an official form, in the title of a love poem; but he then goes on in his portrait of indecisiveness to make the fallibilities of such uncertain judgement seem terrible as well as comical. And so alone, are we all. The poem ‘does not “go off at the end”’, protested Ezra Pound, Eliot’s friend and early champion, to an editor who had wanted something more: ‘It is a portrait of failure, or of a character who fails, and it would be false art to make it end on a note of triumph.’[2].

to my own mind. I can take it or leave it. In his portrait of this ‘one’, she appears unimpressed by his efforts to ‘say just what I mean’; but he is using her imagined indifference as a reason for abandoning an effort in the first place.
