The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I had no idea.

I mean, except with Prufrock, which is what like all kind of adolescents, a lot of adolescents fall in love with because it's, I don't know.

It's something it's, it's quite understand.

I have measured out my life in coffee spoons.

So the next day, or a day in the future, Jay is in a classroom and the professor is reading a poem.

And this is from T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

And the professor is reading these lines, quote, "I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully! Smoothed by long fingers, Asleep ...

But I'm now, when I get back to England, I'm gonna take it to Oxford and Cambridge and Bath, and then hopefully beyond.

Uh, it's an evening of T.S. Eliot, and I start with The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, and then I have a 20-minute chat with this friend of mine, Giles, who's acted with me in Wolf Hall and, and Bring Up the Bodies and, and Mirror and the Light, and also House of Cards.

And I know him well, and he's very erudite, written a book about words.

And we talk about Eliot and the context of him writing The Waste Land, and then I do The Waste Land.
