Preludes
I really enjoyed T.S. Eliot's poetry. His poem Preludes is beautifully written. I couldn't seem to decide what it could be portraying. I either found it to be an account of a relationship or love of his, or in complete contrast, about a prostitute. His first stanza describes a city street as it gets late, and in the second one describes the coming of morning. Eliot uses imagery, but in a less intricate way. His short lines in the opening stanza sort of set a simplistic picture. Something busy, yet still. In the third section of the poem, what I percieved to be a girl is described in a very tell-all way. It seems like a portrait of her. It is unclear of who she is, but it seems that it is a lover of sorts. I really enjoyed the way this poem was written as well as the content. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what spoke to me in the poem, but I think it is one of my favorites.
