Question
This poem lists news items such as “Another bank defaulter has confessed” and “A Greek was murdered at a Polish dance.” One of this poem’s characters tells another “you do not know what life is, you who hold it in your hands” while twisting lilac stalks in her fingers. In the first of this poem’s three sections, “four wax candles in the darkened room” evoke “an atmosphere of Juliet’s tomb” during a performance of Chopin’s preludes. At this poem's end, the speaker wonders “should I have the right to (*) smile?” while imagining the death of its title character. This poem is often read as a companion piece to the author’s other major “Boston poem,” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” For 10 points, what T. S. Eliot poem about a failed friendship was likely titled in reference to a Henry James novel? ■END■
