    James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement. In the introduction Lily Allen writes: "It cannot be said of this book that James Allen wrote it at any particular time or in any one year, for he was engaged in it over many years and those who have eyes to see and hearts to understand will find in its pages the spiritual history of his life. It was his own wish that The Divine Companion should be the last manuscript of his to be published. 'It is the story of my soul,' he said, 'and should be read last of all my books, so that the student may understand and find my message in its pages.'" (Summary by Wikipedia and Lily Allen)

    The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, is an analysis of a beleaguered, multi-layered, and conflicted suitor, trying to reconcile his dichotomy of having a foray of overwhelming ideas juxtaposed with underwhelming execution, in the arena of life and love. It was the poetic debut of the American-born, British poet, T.S Eliot. The poem was originally published in 1915. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is rightly regarded as a poetic classic with timeless themes and undying brilliance.

Will Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson come to his rescue?
