Philip Larkin - MaturityPhilip Larkin - Maturity
Work rating: Medium


A stationary sense… as, I suppose, I shall have, till my single body grows         Inaccurate, tired; Then I shall start to feel the backward pull Take over, sickening and masterful -            Some say, desired. And this must be the prime of life… I blink, As if at pain; for it is pain, to think           This pantomime Of compensating act and counter-act Defeat and counterfeit, makes up, in fact            My ablest time.
