What does /lit/ think of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Elliot.
I can dig that poem. Well developed character, cool imagery. I have a friend who dislikes it because T.S. Elliot was a bitch.
if you've never read it here's a link http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html

I like it, but it's a really hard poem to parse. I'm not good with long poems.

i think it really works on the symbolism of the female love interest, who works as a representation of human interaction in general. may be reading into too much tho
