The rest of the song allows a closer look into the religious beliefs of the writer. “I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing / Roman cavalry choirs are singing / Be my mirror‚ my sword and shield / My missionaries in a foreign field.” Chris hearing the bells and choirs symbolizes his acceptance of faith or religion in a way he did not accept it before.

describe‚ how song of j. Alfred prufrock could be a modernist poem? As with many other works of the Modern period in English literature‚ T. S. Eliot utilizes fragmentation‚ allusion‚ and symbolism to show J. Alfred Prufrock’s inability to act towards the outside world. Prufrock appears‚ in the poem‚ to be a middle-aged balding man who has a very pressing question to ask someone (presumably a woman); however‚ he finds it hard to vocalize his feelings to other people. Instead‚ he spends his time dwelling
