    Ts’ui Pen’s the garden of forking paths is actually a novel he has written and the labyrinth he has “built”. People at his time were confused about that Ts’ui Pen had said he would write a novel and he had said that he would construct a labyrinth‚ for the book was just a contradictory draft and the labyrinth could not be found. However‚ the labyrinth is not really visible‚ and of course it is not the path Yu Tsun has walked with Dr. Albert. The book Ts’ui Pen has written is the novel‚ the labyrinth

    delve deeper and study the context of society‚ culture‚ and that of the writer at the time of composition‚ or they will interpret and push away composed material as meaningless ‘mumbo-jumbo’ – which is what works by poets like T.S. Eliot strived to avoid. T.S. Eliot was the most dominant literary figure between the two World Wars‚ his unique concepts‚ precise vocabulary‚ and the power of his Modernism (which is still as relevant today as it was in the 20th century) changed the face of poetry.

    Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot. This pieces has expanded my intellectual views immensely because it has taught me not to judge a book by its cover (in this case a poem by its title). I am from a small town‚ and in my town everyone likes the same things. So‚ if someone liked poetry or mythology they were considered weird: however‚ in no way‚ shape‚ or form am I trying to accuse my town of being cruel‚ we are all just old fashioned. This poem by T. S. Eliot‚ to me‚ was just the epitome of college

    S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo‚ Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun‚ s’i’odo il vero‚ Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

    How has Eliot used both conventional and Modernist poetic techniques to represent his Modernist concerns? The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Preludes expresses Eliot’s Modernist concerns about the lack of morals and values in modern society through the use of personas within the urban landscape and the urban society. Modern man’s lifestyle of repetition of trivial tasks and the lack of meaningful things in life is represented and emphasised through the use of alliteration‚ metaphor‚ fragmentation

    poetry has and will always be a valuable part of history; especially when dealing with an emotion as universal as love. Interpretation “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚” by T.S. Eliot takes the reader on a depressing‚ timid‚ overcautious‚ middle-aged man. It could be said that he is afraid of his own shadow. Eliot begins the poem with a short excerpt from Dante’s epic poem; “Divine Comedy;” to suggest that Prufrock‚ like Count Guido is in hell. This is an example of allusion. While Count Guido

Yeats also draws upon these themes in his poem He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven. Both poets successfully weave these characteristic ideas so skillfully

    When we first read “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚” I expected a poem somewhat remotely related to what the title is called – a love song. Instead‚ the word ‘love’ is never used or is referred to as a typical romanticism you would normally find in a love poem. This poem is about a man‚ Alfred Frufrock‚ reflecting on what he was doing in his life and questioning what he should have done. The depressing thing is that he is an old man and still has not gone out with a women more then once. I felt
