In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
American Poet
1888 - 1965
When I was introduced to the poetry of T. S. Elliot in college, I fell in love with his work. One of my favorite poems still today is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock from which these two lines are taken.
We are a nation of talkers and storytellers. We always have something to say even when it has no value or frame of reference. People come into our lives and share their opinions on art and the world before taking their leave and going elsewhere. Sometimes we give too much importance to the ideas and opinions of others. We need to listen to ourselves first. Often the opinions of others are not as valid as we are led to believe. In fact, their opinions can be dead wrong.
Are you trapped in a room and forced to listen to the negative opinions of others? Break out! Find a new room with people who will support and help you. Avoid the negative people who try to steal your energy and enthusiasm.
Here is a link to the full text version of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock: (Read and enjoy.)
Listen to this fabulous reading of the poem by Anthony Hopkins.
