120-121: Prufrock is accepting his fate that is inevitable but for him just a little early.
122-123: He starts with two questions which means he's really at a loss for what to do about his hair. The peach could be a symbol of youth? He decides to accept being old by wearing white flannel trousers and walking on the beach.
124-125: He speaks of mermaids singing to each which is a sign of hope, but he doesn't think that they will sing to him. He obviously feels he has no hope. This is typical of the main character due to his lack of confidence.
126-131: Prufrock speaks of seeing mermaids riding waves (women with their men), combing the white hair of the waves blown back (the women caring for their men), When the wind blows the water white or black (in both good times and bad times), We have lingered in the chambers of the sea (We, as in I, have waited too long), Till human voices wake us, and we drown (Till people give us too much personal advice/personal opinions and we kill our selves)
