Made the pilgrimage to this giant`s grave last week. Long trip. Autumn wind could have been a wee bit stronger, but the trees had a sway about them. L`s grave surrounded by others, with corny, but heartfelt messages. L`s austere and simple. Wish he was still with us. One of the greats.

We know what juxtaposition means - but it isn't the ungainly, academic language that Larkin would ever use. He's much better than that. And, MintySpunkBubble, Larkin and New Order are a perfect mix: both have that perfect English sensibility, remember Ian Curtis was the main force that started that band.

Very brilliant! Thanks for this.

Bennett didnt leave this out - its in his original recording
Also the timing of his sentences has been pratted with here and ruins his version of it

Hmmm, ok, just for litte old you...
Juxtaposition
"Main Entry: jux·ta·po·si·tion
Pronunciation: "j&k-st&-p&-'zi-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin juxta near + English position -- more at JOUST
: the act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side; also : the state of being so placed."
Alan Bennett and New Order aren't exactly two things you'd think of going well together are they?

Well spoken.

"Juxtaposition"? What's he rattling on about? Great stuff, love the New Order music. Take it easy.

I thought this was a good juxtaposition of stuff. Thanks.

Philip Larkin's "Here"by BayHouseEnglish3,384 views
As well as a dull recitation, Bennett left a bit out: 'Religion used to try, that vast, moth-eaten musical brocade, created to pretend we never die, and specious stuff that says no rational being can fear a thing it cannot feel, not seeing that this is what we fear, no sight...'

Anybody got Larkin doing it? I have Tom Courtenay on another page.

I think that's a fair comment.
