ok, I  was looking thru a bio of Gerard Manly Hopkins last night, and spotted 
a  passage where his longtime buddy and fellow poet (Bridges?) got to visit  
Hopkins in person, and Bridges was about to buy some peaches for them to eat,  
but Hopkins declined because of some Jesuit mortification 

could this  be a source for "do I dare to eat a peach" in Prufrock?   



Anyone on the list familiar with Jesuit teachings re: the  above?
