T.S. Eliot left us several rather famous poems, and is still a much-perused and often criticized poet to this day. He was a Missourian American and later subject of the crown of the United Kingdom. Such a puzzle to me that kind of immigration and that sort of time in the world, but for that is an explanation best left to you to seek and resolve.

For our subject today, however, emigration into old age, back into recesses of observation. This week Nighttime Stories presents to you The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S. Eliot, first published in Poetry, the year 1915.
