MM_preloadImages('img/rollover_f6.gif'); MM_preloadImages('img/rollover_f5.gif'); MM_preloadImages('img/rollover_f3.gif'); MM_preloadImages('img/rollover_f2.gif'); Philip Larkin 1922-1985 Philip Larkin was not an inescapable presence in America, as he was in England; and to some extent you can see America's point. His Englishness was so desolate and inhospitable that even the English were scandalised by it. Certainly, you won't find his work on the Personal Growth or Self- Improvement shelves in your local bookstore. 'Get out as early as you can,' as he once put it. 'And don't have any kids yourself.' Anti-intellectual, incurious and reactionary ('Oh, I adore Mrs. Thatcher'), Larkin was himself an anti-poet. He never wanted to go anywhere, or do anything. 'I've never been to America, nor to anywhere else, for that matter.' Asked by an interviewer whether he would like to visit, say, China, he replied, 'I wouldn't mind seeing China if I could come back the same day.' He never read his poems in public, never lectured on poetry, and never taught anyone how to write it'. He lived in Hull, which is like living in Akron, Ohio, with the further advantage that it is more or less impossible to get to. Ramona Koval: You wrote a lovely obituary for Philip Larkin, who was a friend of your father's and your brother's Godfather, but you describe his life as very very limited, limited to Hull?

Larkin himself told John Betjeman that "whenever he looked at his book he found it was full of four-letter words." It is, too. Among the poems in High Windows that make use of dirty words are the book's title poem, "Vers de Société," and the well-known "This Be The Verse," a twelve-line poem beginning: "They fuck you up, your mum and dad. / They may not mean to, but they do." Robert Crawford described the impact that "Larkin's English" had on English poetry: The word "fuck" is canonical now. The poem by Philip Larkin which most people find easiest to remember is the one that begins with a fine pun in it: "They fuck you up. . ."

January 21, 2006 A while back Robyn Summerlin recommended I read Phillip Larkin so I ended up putting him on my Amazon wish list. My daughter Dawn ended up buying it for my birthday, noting that Larkin sounded old and crotchety, kind of like me. THIS BE THE VERSE They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, Phillip Larkin: Collected Poems and see if I like all of them as well as I like this one. Loren 4 comments January 22, 2006 dark poetry My favorite from the early collection is shorter than most and more direct: VI Kick up the fire, and let the flames break loose To drive the shadows back; Prolong the talk on this or that excuse, Till the night comes to rest Yet when the guest Has stepped in to the windy street, and gone, Who can confront The instantaneous grief of being alone?

48. Philip Larkin: Grounded Visionary philip larkin’s poetry at its best answers to this high charge. He can range from the bitter pessimism of ‘Wires’ to the mystic tinge of ‘High Windows’, http://www.dur.ac.uk/postgraduate.english/mcnamee.htm

Philip Larkin: Grounded Visionary Brendan McNamee (Queen's University, Belfast ) FIRST RESPONSE "Only the very greatest art", Iris Murdoch has written, "invigorates without consoling, and defeats all our attempts to use it as magic" (31). Philip Larkin’s poetry at its best answers to this high charge. He can range from the bitter pessimism of ‘Wires’ to the mystic tinge of ‘High Windows’, covering all stops along the way, but what is especially valuable about his work is the way in which he welds these extremes together so that even the bleak pessimism of the former piece contains a frustrated energy – "always scenting purer water/Not here but elsewhere" (3-4) – that is closely related to the sense of the numinous that blazes from the closing lines of the latter ( Collected Poems 48,1.65). Larkin was what you might call a spiritual atheist. Refusing to be lulled by man-made systems, religious or secular, he managed to articulate, and validate, the eternal yearning that underlies such systems. He stared at the abyss until the abyss blinked, and it is precisely because of this unflinching stare at hell – "Life is first boredom, then fear" ("Dockery and Son," 52, l. 45) – that we believe him when he uncovers glimpses of heaven. The title of the book that made his reputation says it plainly: The Less Deceived Then there is the other side of the coin. "Coming" (interestingly, written only five days after "Deceptions") is a simple celebration of Spring (l. 33). Set on facing pages in

MCMXIV Those long uneven lines Standing as patiently As if they were stretched outside The Oval or Villa Park, The crowns of hats, the sun On moustached archaic faces Grinning as if it were all An August Bank Holiday lark; And the shut shops, the bleached Established names on the sunblinds, The farthings and sovereigns, And dark-clothed children at play Called after kings and queens, The tin advertisements For cocoa and twist, and the pubs Wide open all day And the countryside not caring: The place names all hazed over With flowering grasses, and fields Shadowing Domesday lines Under wheat's restless silence; The differently-dressed servants With tiny rooms in huge houses, The dust behind limousines; Never such innocence, Never before or since, As changed itself to past Without a wordthe men Leaving the gardens tidy, The thousands of marriages, Lasting a little while longer: Never such innocence again.

Home FAQ Posts filed under 'Philip Larkin' Love we must part now Philip Larkin Listen Love, we must part now: do not let it be Calamitious and bitter. In the past There has been too much moonlight and self-pity: Let us have done with it: for now at last Never has sun more boldly paced the sky, Never were hearts more eager to be free, To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and I No longer hold them; we are husks, that see The grain going forward to a different use. There is regret. Always, there is regret. But it is better that our lives unloose, As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light, Break from an estuary with their courses set, And waving part, and waving drop from sight. [falstaff] P.S.
