.my favourite philip larkin poem.

This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don’t have any kids yourself.

.philip larkin.

“‘Tilton brought me to see the old room where Poe wrote “The Raven”, on Friday, Nov. 10″

“His copy of Theodore Tilton’s volume of poems, Thou and I, contains the following note in his hand: ‘Tilton brought me to see the old room where Poe wrote “The Raven”, on Friday, Nov. 10 [1882]. An old wooden house over the Hudson, low rooms, fine chimney piece, very dull Corot day, clergyman with reminiscences of Poe, about chickens’.”
