I think it's a beautiful poem, even though it's been quite hard for me to
undertand.
"To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet"
I especially liked this verse, itīs oh so touching.
Donīt you think?

I really loved the hidden concepts in this poem. I love how someone
simple-minded could hear this poem and just enjoy the flow of the words and
let it wash over them and then someone brilliant could hear it and be able
to uncover all the poem's wonderful meanings and morals. I'd also like to
say that I really agree with amber form Canada's opinions on the poem. i
think she really hit the nail on the head with the way she read between the
lines and found it's meaning. So for anyone who has written to find the
meaning of the poem read comment #17. cheers!

I think the poem isn't about love at all but about a man who never took any
chances in life. He's grown old and realized that he hasn't done anything
to make him stand out in life, never done anything to be remembered by. He
keeps saying there's time and he still has time to do something meaningful
but then is too scared to act because he's afraid of other peoples opinions
and what they will think of him (and they will so 'Oh! How he's grown
thin!). In the end this poems moral is: never put off until tomorrow
something you can do today.

i think the most striking idea of the poem is belonging nowhere(etherized
patient,neither alive nor dead;deserted islands and the athmosphere)living
with superficial people poet feels estranged;however he has no strenght to
change his life.

One part no one has commented on is the reference to Hamlet towards the
end. Hamlet paralleled Prufrock in his inability to take action. But
Prufrock then says he is not a prince Hamlet in the sense that Hamlet
eventually took action but he never has. This has left him old and in
despair which is what the poem is about. Prufrock is expressing his
hopelessness and regret at the wasted lives he sees around him (In the room
the women come and go talking of Michelangelo)as well as his own wasted
life.

I think the 'love' in the title is meant to be ironic - he's talking to
himself, a love song to himself, because he has been too afraid to roll the
universe into a ball and love some of those women in their perfumed dress
who make him digress. It's the anti-love song of a man who has been too
wimpy to bust a move on love - his moment of greatness has flickered and
he's a bald spotted old man walking on a beach and not even the mermaids
are going to singe to him. Love song indeed! He has only imagined and
wished for love. It's pretty sad. This is a man who never took a chance.

I don't know.., I just read it for the first time. I wonder why did he
ever mention word 'love', why 'love song'?.. Anybody?
