Philip Larkin Quotes

Sexual Intercourse Began
In Nineteen Sixty-three
(which Was Rather Late For Me) -
Between The End Of The Chatterley Ban
And The Beatles' First LP.
Up To Then There'd Only Been
A Sort Of Bargaining,
A Wrangle For The Ring,
A Shame That Started At Sixteen
And Spread To Everything.
Then All At Once The Quarrel Sank:
Everyone Felt The Same,
And Every Life Became
A Brilliant Breaking Of The Bank,
A Quite Unlosable Game.
So Life Was Never Better Than
In Nineteen Sixty-three
(Though Just Too Late For Me) -
Between The End Of The Chatterley Ban
And The Beatles' First LP.
