Listening to Eliot read his "Prufrock" I realize my own use of those two words came about because the yellow-jacketed T. S. Eliot "Selected Poems" was a constant presence on my bedside table in 1978 and I read "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" almost daily while I thought about how I could make the moves necessary to end the marriage I was in at that time. Fantastic animation.

Thanks for commenting. How interesting that “Prufrock” could speak so directly to a woman’s situation as well as to a man’s! Thanks for commenting.
