Philip Larkin

Philip Larkin was an English poet --- His, is the only book of poems I have ever bought.

Reading his words, I guess "something clicked" and connected to my middle-aged core.

Below is one favorite...


FAR OUT

Beyond the dark cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on air.

These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight,

For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.


More poems, of all kinds, are at this link:
