T.S Eliot

hey guys,
i found this bit at the beginning of the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero,
Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

roughly translated:
"If I thought my answer were given
to anyone who would ever return to the world,
this flame would stand still without moving any further.
But since never from this abyss
has anyone ever returned alive, if what I hear is true,
without fear of infamy I answer you."

i was thinking it kinda ties in with a few of our initial ideas
like death, horror, ghost towns, murder? also one we havent got which came to my mind, the afterlife?
thought you might want to know...
