Everyone experiences loss. For instance, a cherished relative passing away, going through a lousey break-up, or a best friend moving away; it is just part of life. Losing someone is tragic and can change a person or place forever. Whether it be the way someone handles their grief of losing a loved one or the memory of where many people were killed like multiple war battlefields. This shown in these modernist poets poems: “Grass” by Carl Sandburg, “I Shall Not Care” by Sara Teasdale, or The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

Normally, we get the happy ending where the two confess their love and live happily ever after. But not in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” By T.S. Eliot. J. Alfred Prufrock takes us on a journey from what is implied to be London, England. He keeps repeating, “There will be time, there will be time” throughout the entire love song. Prufrock is referring to telling the love of his life how he feels about her. But he let the self-doubt and fear of rejection scare him from actually telling her. He starts to isolate himself from everyone, to the point it makes him going partially mad...or so it seems. He says, “I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me.” Why don’t they sing to him? Elliot left us with many unanswered questions throughout this love song. In the end, Prufrock talks about he loves the ocean. “Till human voices wake us, and we drown.” For someone who wrote a love song for someone, he still ended up dead, alone, and isolated. Why couldn’t T.S. Elliot les us get our happy
