To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

Answer 2

The Bible’s Ecclesiastes 3.1-4 and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

The lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" that are an allusion to these Bible verses are:

A. There will be time to murder and create,

And time for all the works and days of hands

Step-by-step explanation:

The line "time to murder and create" is an indirect inference to Ecclesiastes 3:1-4. The poem titled "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" was written in 1910 by T.S. Eliot. It is modernist literary work which celebrated the diminishing power of traditional sources of authority, especially religion. Most allusions are made based on shared knowledge and understanding between the reader and the author.
