    Rockwell’s The Love Song has captured my attention time and time again with its expressive and intriguing narrative. Sylvan Barnet tells us that in the critique of a work we must ask ourselves‚ “What is my first response to the work?” Barnet goes on to say that we may eventually change our understanding of the work or revoke our initial response completely.

But not only that‚ in a way it is a love song of unrequited

    Alan Blunt was a calculating man. He had to be. It was the nature of his work. Where other men saw accidents and mishaps‚ Blunt saw connections.

    Ezra. The epigraph of the poem is a quotation from Dante Alighieri´s Divine Comedy‚ from the first of the three canticas‚ Inferno. The reason for that is Eliot´s obsession and extensive reading of Dante at that time. Eliot´s poetry‚ including “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is the combination of past and modern time.
