Two Modern Poets, One Single Term: “The Correlative” as a Link Between T.S. Eliot and Edip Cansever

Öz

In his modernist masterpiece ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ T.S. Eliot writes “Let us go then, you and I, / When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table; / Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, / The muttering retreats / Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels / And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells.” (Eliot, 1991:3) The evening here, seen as an etherized patient upon a table is related with the helplessness of Prufrock if the whole poem is considered. It’s the “objective correlative” of this helplessness he feels in his life. Eliot makes the reader feel it, too, by seeing the evening as an etherized patient
