Abstract: In this paper, I have tried to explore and explain the significance of “short square fingers” in Preludes. The meaning becomes clear if we analyse the image from the angle of palmistry and we understand how it fits in with the meaning and theme of the poem.

Keywords: short square fingers, astrology, palmistry, fatalism, materialism
