Question

Which literary work contains the lines: 'Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table....'?

1) The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
2) Paradise Lost by John Milton
3) Hamlet by William Shakespeare
4) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Answer 1

The lines 'Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table...' are from 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' by T.S. Eliot, which is often compiled with his other famous work 1)'The Waste Land'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The literary work that contains the lines:

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table;

is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. This poem is known for its modernist style and is one of Eliot's most famous works, marking the beginning of Modernist poetry in the English literature.

The correct option from the ones provided is 1) The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, since "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is often included in compilations with "The Waste Land" and may be mistaken as part of this famous work.

It's worth noting that the options provided in the question do not list "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" separately, which can cause confusion.
