    “I feared these present years,
    The middle twenties,
    When deftness disappears,
    And each event is
    Freighted with a source-encrusting doubt,
    And turned to drought.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “... breaks ancestrally each year into
    Regenerate union. Let it always be there.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
