Poems by Philip Larkin
Vers De Société
... Just think of all the spare time that has flownStraight into nothingness by being filled ...
Reasons For Attendance
... Of happiness is found by couples - sheerInaccuracy, as far as I'm concerned ...
How Distant
... When the chance sightOf a girl doing her laundry in the steerage ...
Take One Home For The Kiddies
... Fetch the shoebox, fetch the shovel - ...
Counting
... one set Of wishes can be met, ...
Night-Music
... Only the sound Long sibilant-muscled trees ...
Send No Money
... By the blows of what happened to happen ...
Solar
... Climb and return like angels ...
The Little Lives Of Earth And Form
... The flattened grass, the swaying stalk, ...
Whatever Happened?
... Easily, then (though pale),'Perspective brings significance,' we say, ...
Myxomatosis
... You may have thought things would come right again ...
Skin
... Those few forbidding signsOf the continuous coarse ...
Arrival
... Keep their thick lives to themselves ...
The Spirit Wooed
... Distant Down sidestreets, keeping different time,And never questioned what ...
Since The Majority Of Me
... Divide. And sure of what to do We disinfect new blocks of days ...
