Which line in this excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot uses synecdoche? Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
