Something almost being said
I love this poem. Especially that immaculate first para:
, who somehow seems to fit the laziness and the Sundayness, and even the afternoonness. There are some sublime moments in his poetry; who else could come up with a phrase like "The sun-comprehending glass." Delightful.
The trees are coming into leafIt's a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I'm sitting and reading Philip Larkin
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.
, who somehow seems to fit the laziness and the Sundayness, and even the afternoonness. There are some sublime moments in his poetry; who else could come up with a phrase like "The sun-comprehending glass." Delightful.
