Near the end of the poem, the speaker of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” declares, “It is impossible to say just what I mean!” (104). Write an essay that examines the poem in relation to this line. What does Prufrock mean when he says that? Is he despairing about the ability of language to convey individual perceptions with any specificity of meaning? Or is he suggesting that he does not actually know what he is thinking, or what he means, so he is unable to express it? How does this line relate to the rest of the poem? Does the speaker say something meaningful by the end, or does he understand what he is trying to say?

The poem ironically is neither a love song nor a spontaneous overflow of feelings of a lover for his beloved. It rather is an analysis of the mind of the lover who is unable to take a decision about making the proposal to a lady he loves.
