    "His reality (Eliot's) may be a modern drawing room; this may be an ordinary human mind suddenly and fatally aware of what is happening to it; Mr Eliot is careful to present his street and his drawing room as they are, and Pruforcks thoughts as they are: live thoughts, kicking, running about and jumping, nervy, in a live brain" ]]>     2018-05-29 11:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mcenerny/7csy9sf6ezdu/wish/264222640     s_mcenerny https://padlet.com/s_mcenerny/7csy9sf6ezdu/wish/264223850 Imperative voice and anaphora reflects ironically Prufrock’s desire for action. Yet, he uses the phrase ‘Let us go’ that is self-conscious and mannered. The simile that follows reinforces this.
