  4. T.S. Eliot, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” (post-WWI) Narrate

    1. Note: the epigraph, or quotation at the beginning, is from Dante’s Inferno

    2. Eliot was a Dante scholar and tended to see the Divine Comedy playing out all around him

    3. Translated, the epigraph says: 

“If I but thought that my response were made

to one perhaps returning to the world,

this tongue of flame would cease to flicker.

But since, up from these depths, no one has yet

returned alive, if what I hear is true,

I answer without fear of being shamed.”

  5. T.S. Eliot, “The Waste Land,” to line 217 (the halfway mark) Narrate

    1. Note, again, that Eliot’s poems are full of allusions to other things – Dante, which you might recognize, but also other texts, which you might not

    2. Note that he moves back and forth between his own present world and the world of fable and myth

    3. Think about what might resonate between those two worlds – how do they show each other up when set beside each other?
