Also, let me suggest in that awkwardly forward way that so many Americans have, that you send these fine folks at the #PhilipLarkin Society a few extra quid as well.

"Annus Mirabilis" gets a predictable call out in the New Yorker's review of "Lady C: the long, sensational life of Lady Chatterley's Lover". Otis Redding's "Try a little tenderness" was also influenced. Hm? @PLSoc What Did “Lady Chatterley” Liberate? newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

To have no son, no wife,    No house or land still seemed quite natural.    Only a numbness registered the shock    Of finding out how much had gone of life… Life is first boredom, then fear. Whether or not we use it, it goes… Philip Larkin

@AugheyArthur It’s got a good bread round. And the same number of palsied old step-takers,
hare-eyed clerks with the jitters, waxed-fleshed out-patients still vague from accidents as Downing St, if not more. Leadership of the highest order. Macron will love the litter baskets.

My mother, who hates thunder storms, Holds up each summer day and shakes It out suspiciously, lest swarms Of grape—dark clouds are lurking there… Philip Larkin

And I her son, though summer—born And summer—loving, none the less Am easier when the leaves are gone Too often summer days appear Emblems of perfect happiness I can’t confront: I must await A time less bold, less rich, less clear: An autumn more appropriate. Philip Larkin

@Troyvisitor @uniofwarwick @UniOfHull @PLSoc You have just made my day. I am an enormous fan of Philip Larkin. You are someone who had first hand day to day experience of him. What a coincidence. I have never had this experience before. All my heroes were remote. e.g. Linus Pauling, St Paul

Currently, I am watching the reruns of “A Very Peculiar Practice” on BBC Four @BBCiPlayer, starring Peter Davison @PeterDavison5. It’s a surreal, black comedy with slightly sinister and cynical overtones, set in the medical centre of one of the “new universities” of the 1960s.

The first day after a death, the new absence    Is always the same; we should be careful Of each other, we should be kind    While there is still time. Philip Larkin
