Alfred Sisley, Windy afternoon in May (ca. 1800)

Alom ontvouwen knoppen zich,
zo groen, een soort verdriet is dat.

A cartoon by Davey Jones for Viz Comic.
The title is "The Collected Poems of Philip Larkin in Space"
We see a starship pilot warning: "Captain Larkin, our ship is caught in the gravitational pull of Doom Planet... moment by moment, we are inching inexorably towards oblivion!"
Larking replies: "Tell me about it."

Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three

Between the end of the "Chatterley" ban
And the Beatles' first LP.

"So many things I had thought forgotten
Return to my mind with stranger pain:
Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago."

Philip Larkin’s “The Trees” by Sadie Stein April 10, 2014 – It is spring now, and very hard not to feel in clichés. Especially with daffodils everywhere—and very cheap they are, too. “Telephone flowers,” a friend

#poesia #poetry #larkin #philiplarkin

"Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth."

The Winter Palace

by Philip Larkin

Most people know more as they get older: I give all that the cold shoulder.

I spent my second quarter-century Losing what I had learnt at university.

And refusing to take in what had happened since. Now I know none of the names in the public prints,

And am starting to give offence by forgetting faces And swearing I've never been in certain places.

It will be worth it, if in the end I manage

To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage.

Then there will be nothing I know. My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow.
