The Yellow Fog

In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." the fog is metaphor for something deeper than he saw fog and it was yellow. But going off of what was said by Mr. Preston and Alyssa i agree that there was an artificial nature behind the fog. I also found it interesting that the poem deals with fear and how time was slipping because from my own synesthetic stand point yellow usually represents fear as an emotion. So I think it would make since within the poems context because it also deals with his fears of growing older and not living up to his full potential and then rationalizing to himself that there will be more time later.
