Modernism in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume? 1
-T. S. Eliot, from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
How does this excerpt from the poem reflect the Modernist ideal of
disillusionment?
