I Am No Prophet, and It Is No Great Matter July 14, 2013 Play T.S. Eliot paraphrases Amos' disclaimer "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son" in his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." It doesn't really matter whether Amos thinks he is a prophet or not. When God calls you to prophesy, you prophesy. References Amos 7:7-17
