Just finished Prufrock and am starting with this one. Prufrock is now my favorite. Simply fantastic. Let's see if I still hold that opinion after Wasteland.

I don't know. One just has to get used to the interface I guess.

In high school we had to do a term paper. One of the options was analyzing the character of Prufroack and showing how he could fit into the landscape of The Waste Land. The teacher had said it usually takes about 20 pages to do it. Mine was 64 pages.

I LOVE both poems.
