Larkin is 'just my lark'

[DSDMovies]

Not sure why (I tend not to go into the great mental depths before composing a youtube comment), I get a Will Self feel from seeing Larkin here.

[Scream0Sn1pe]

Absolutely splendid man. Though, I've always wondered about his height. From this footage, he looks incredibly big. Does anyone actually know how tall he was?

[ashburnhouse]

Larkin's voice is so soothing and imperturbable.

[David Garrett]

Rare gems.

"I'm a miserable sort of fellow, writing a sort of welfare state sub-poetry". Makes you love him all the more, doesn't it?
