“I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.”
― The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
I do not think that they will sing to me.”
― The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
“Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid. ”
― The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
