Explanation:
These lines are part of the final lines of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock written by T. S. Eliot, in which a modern, educated, yet emotionally unstable man (Prufrock) expresses his own thoughts on life, society, inadequacy, women, self-image, and shows his anxiety, especially toward human interaction and women rejecting him. In the last lines, Prufrock switches his attention to a beach and fantastic images of mermaids singing to each other, that will never sing to him. Following his pessimistic views, here Prufrock conveys that he feels that women ignore him and do not find him attractive.
