22. Two Larkin Poems Money and Friday Night at the Royal Station Hotel. http://www.ralphmag.org/larkin.html

Two by Philip Larkin Money Quarterly, is it, money reproaches me: "Why do you let me lie here wastefully? I am all you never had of goods and sex, You could get them still by writing a few cheques." So I look at others, what they do with theirs: They certainly don't keep it upstairs. By now they've a second house and car and wife: Clearly money has something to do with life - In fact, they've a lot in common, if you enquire: You can't put off being young until you retire, And however you bank your screw, the money you save Won't in the end buy you more than a shave. I listen to money singing. It's like looking down From long French windows at a provincial town, The slums, the canal, the churches ornate and mad In the evening sun. It is intensely sad. Friday Night at the Royal Station Hotel Light spreads darkly downwards from the high Clusters of lights over empty chairs That face each other, coloured differently. Through open doors, the dining-room declares A larger loneliness of knives and glass And silence laid like carpet. A porter reads

References To us he is no more a person Now but a whole climate of opinion W. H. Auden 1. 'A whole climate of opinion' 2. The 'positive' Larkin There is a tendency in recent criticism to see Larkin's pessimism in somewhat more relative terms, and to emphazise the affirmative and humorous sides to his work as well. There are indeed a great number of passages in his poetry that seem fit to refute the image of the bleak and pessimistic writer, and thus to justify this change in perspective. However, the passages on which this new approach is based need to be considered very carefully. While some of them can truly be said to be confident and affirmative, others, and some of the best-known among them, merely appear to be so, and on closer examination turn out to be qualified, or even rendered invalid, by either the context they appear in or the circumstances in which they are spoken. 'First Sight', however, certainly is one of Larkin's most affirmative poems. Its two stanzas deftly contrast the present state with future expectations, and a depres-sively bleak winter landscape with the prospect of forthcoming spring that in its abundance is to unfold '[e]arth's immesurable surprise' (112).

He attended St. John's College, Oxford. His first book of poetry, The North Ship , was published in 1945 and, though not particularly strong on its own, is notable insofar as certain passages foreshadow the unique sensibility and maturity that characterizes his later work. In 1946, Larkin discovered the poetry of Thomas Hardy and became a great admirer of his poetry, learning from Hardy how to make the commonplace and often dreary details of his life the basis for extremely tough, unsparing, and memorable poems. With his second volume of poetry, The Less Deceived (1955), Larkin became the preeminent poet of his generation, and a leading voice of what came to be called "The Movement," a group of young English writers who rejected the prevailing fashion for neo-Romantic writing in the style of Yeats and Dylan Thomas . Like Hardy, Larkin focused on intense personal emotion but strictly avoided sentimentality or self-pity.

Larkin himself told John Betjeman that "whenever he looked at his book he found it was full of four-letter words." It is, too. Among the poems in High Windows that make use of dirty words are the book's title poem, "Vers de Société," and the well-known "This Be The Verse," a twelve-line poem beginning: "They fuck you up, your mum and dad. / They may not mean to, but they do." Robert Crawford described the impact that "Larkin's English" had on English poetry: The word "fuck" is canonical now. The poem by Philip Larkin which most people find easiest to remember is the one that begins with a fine pun in it: "They fuck you up. . ."

Books Obituary Maeve Brennan The woman Philip Larkin nearly married, and a profound influence on his work Tweet this Jean Hartley The Guardian Thursday 19 June 2003 17.22 BST Maeve Brennan, who has died aged 73, was a colleague, close friend and muse of the poet Philip Larkin. I first met her in the early 1960s, when Larkin brought her to tea at our house. Since 1955, when my husband and I, who ran The Marvell Press, had published Philip's book of poems, The Less Deceived, he had become a good friend and a regular visitor. I remember thinking how lucky Philip was to have found a woman who was so pretty, warm-hearted, sensitive and open-minded. Over the years, as we met at parties, dinners, plays and poetry readings, it was clear that Maeve and Philip were very much in love. Maeve was born in Beverley, East Yorkshire, the eldest of three children. Her mother converted to Catholicism when she married Maeve's father, a dental surgeon from Kilkenny, south-east Ireland.

Books Monica Jones Philip Larkin's muse and mistress, over four decades she was an inspiring - if idiosyncratic - university lecturer in English Tweet this John Sutherland The Guardian Thursday 15 March 2001 18.00 GMT By the stern rules of her profession, Monica Jones, who has died aged 78, should perish. An academic for four decades, she published nothing. Yet she merits commemoration on two grounds: she was the career-long companion and aide (occasionally muse) of Britain's most acclaimed postwar poet, Philip Larkin. She was also, in her own idiosyncratic style, an outstanding teacher. Born in Llanelli, an only child, her father was an engineer; her mother was from the north-east of England. When Monica was seven, the Jones family moved to Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire. Her parents (at a period well before the 1944 Education Act) arranged for her to go to the girls' high school at Kidderminster. From there she won a scholarship and went up to St Hugh's College, Oxford, in October 1940, to read English. She was the first member of her immediate family to go to university.

36. An Arundel Tomb Text of Larkin s poem, which ends with What will remain of us is love. http://home.clara.net/stevebrown/html/an_arundel_tomb.htm

English OpenAccess hom e criticism index An Arundel Tomb Side by side, their faces blurred, The earl and countess lie in stone, Their proper habits vaguely shown As jointed armour, stiffened pleat, And that faint hint of the absurd - The little dogs under their feet. Such plainness of the pre-baroque Hardly involves the eye, until It meets his left-hand gauntlet, still Clasped empty in the other; and One sees, with a sharp tender shock, His hand withdrawn, holding her hand. They would not think to lie so long. Such faithfulness in effigy Was just a detail friends would see: A sculptor's sweet commissioned grace Thrown off in helping to prolong The Latin names around the base. They would not guess how early in Their supine stationary voyage The air would change to soundless damage, Turn the old tenantry away; How soon succeeding eyes begin To look, not read. Rigidly, they Persisted, linked, through lengths and breadths
