PRUFROCK AND THE KINGS
i might have to defend tse despite my reluctance after being totally convinced by summary of mr. p and his yellow evening.
i think it can be safely assumed that tse belonged to the lavatory set rendering such a humble word as toilets completely beneath consideration. this is despite the ‘fact’ that according to ‘someone in the trade’ speaking on radio 4, toilet is the correct word, lavatory being the wash-hand basin.
his advice was never to piss in the lavatory, which in the light of his informed opinion seems very sound.
now here’s my question: is to describe atrophy necessarily to subscribe to its inevitability? doesn’t tse express considerable unease at the whole shambolic lot? it is a fine judgement perhaps which is probably why i am using ‘unease’ rather than ‘reject’.
anyway i will not discard ‘journey of the magi’ and it’s disruption of the ‘old dispensations’ and that tension between the ordinary and extraordinary within the verse.
