@amjuster Putting nationalism (🇨🇮 or 🇺🇸 or 🇬🇧) one side, the five most important poets writing in English in the 20th century. (imo) Two American: Frost and Stevens Two Irish: Yeats and Heaney And T. S. Eliot (You’ve come a long way from St. Louis…) Larkin, maybe as a super-sub.

In 1975, Larkin gave an interview to a schoolboy from Beverley Grammar who asked if he’d been tempted to write a third novel after A Girl in Winter. ‘I spent about another five years trying to write the third, but I failed and had to fall back on poems.’ Career planning.

And I am sick for want of sleep; So sick, that I can half-believe The soundless river pouring from the cave Is neither strong nor deep; Only an image fancied in conceit… Philip Larkin

“What did Baudelaire say, man can live a week without bread but not a day without poetry. You might say I can live a week without poetry but not a day without jazz.” Philip Larkin

Morning at last: there in the snow Your small blunt footprints come and go. Night has left no more to show, Not the candle, the half-drunk wine, Or touching joy; only this sign Of your life walking into mine… Philip Larkin

So many things I had thought forgotten Return to my mind with stranger pain: - Like letters that arrive addressed to someone Who left the house so many years ago. Philip Larkin

T. S. Eliot died on this day in 1965. This photograph showing his empty desk was taken at the Faber office on Russell Square the day after Eliot's death. On the second photograph, Eliot is shown with Helen Gardner, literary critic, scholar, and Faber author.

Anyone else noticed Simon Armitage's "Larkin Revisited" recently. This morning, High Windows popped up. Just now, To the Sea. Beeb R4 seems to be replaying. @PLSoc

So it is better to sleep and leave the bottle unopened; Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered; Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand; With such small adjustments life will again move forward Implicating us all Philip Larkin
