Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.”
― Philip Larkin

“Everyone should be forcibly transplanted to another continent from their family at the age of three.”

― Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

“Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.”
― Philip Larkin
