Philip Larkin Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 9, 1922 - December 2, 1985
Birthday: August 9
Death: December 2
Here silence stands Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken, Hidden weeds flower, neglected waters quicken, Luminously-peopled air ascends; And past the poppies bluish neutral distance Ends the land suddenly beyond a beach Of shapes and shingle. Here is unfenced existence: Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach.
