Philip Larkin Quotes

Maturity
A Stationary Sense ... As, I Suppose,
I Shall Have, Till My Single Body Grows
Inaccurate, Tired;
Then I Shall Start To Feel The Backward Pull
Take Over, Sickening And Masterful
Some Say, Desired.
And This Must Be The Prime Of Life ... I Blink,
As If At Pain; For It Is Pain, To Think
This Pantomime
Of Compensating Act And Counter-act,
Defeat And Counterfeit, Makes Up, In Fact,
My Ablest Time.
