Larkin

Famous quotes containing the word larkin:

    But to wish is first to think,
    And to think is to be dumb,
    And barren of a word to drop
    That to a milder shore might come
    And, years ahead, erect a crop.
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Lit shelved liners
    Grope like mad worlds westward.
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Apart, we think we wish ourselves together,
    Yet sue for solitude upon our meetings....
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
