  • @timco2007 cos he hasnt a clue

  • @falstaffswims hes the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th century, probably better than Eliot the greatest of the first half 

  • I love Philip Larkin for making me sh-t my pants laughing at my parents, and older fools in old-style hats and coats... and on the next page, scaring the holy living sh-t out of me, by reminding me acutely of what I already know, and spend my waking life like Canute trying like a fool to stave it off... I am going to f-cking die.

    In sum, Pip the Lark is good at getting my bowels moving. Oh, lordy, how I love him!

  • over acted, much as I like this actor - and this poem. and the music! F*** !

  • I enjoyed this reading.Many thanks for posting it.

  • It is a little aggressive, I grant you. But a change from Alan Bennett.

  • Why (as Larkin would surely say) doesn't he just read the fucker out? The actor doesn't need to supply the beats.

    Larkin wrote it!
