LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats 5
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question … 10
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.
"The love song of J Alfred Prufrock" by TS Elliot
frustrating meaningless tedious urban live....

I don't know what Elliot meant, but my disillusionment is "going to the shows, the museums, the intelligent conversation". In fact, urban life is dirty, noisy, stinky and few actually enjoy the arts.
