This clumsy living that moves lumbering as if in ropes through what is not done reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks

English
1 answer:
const2013 [10]2 years ago
4 0

This quote means that, just like a swan is clumsy when walking, we are clumsy when living this life since it is not our natural state, as explained below.

<h3>What is the quote about?</h3>

The quote compares us while living this life to a swan walking. First, we need to understand that a swan looks graceful and elegant while swimming, but clumsy while walking.

The author makes that comparison to say that we live this life in a clumsy way because it is not our natural state. However, once we die, we are freed from all the pain and hardship and, like a swan in the water, we go back to our true element.

The complete question can be found attached.

What types of images does the speaker return to throughout "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?"
Oxana [17]

Thomas Eliot works multiple themes in the poem, however in general, his usage of imagery mainly represents ageing and decay. In the lines "When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table", the phrases like "sawdust restaurants" and "cheap hotels," the yellow fog, and the afternoon "Asleep...tired... or it malingers", represent decay. The character's concerns about his hair and teeth which is mentioned in the lines "Combing the white hair of the waves blown back / When the wind blows the water white and black," show the problems about aging.
