Imagery in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock By T. S. Eliot The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes, The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening (With the lines you can just vision what the writer is saying, it's easily imaginable.)

Eyes (The eyes would represent the one that sees everything like in a way GOD) Valley of ashes (Between West Egg and East Egg= The separation of the Rich to the Poor)
