The Philip Larkin Society |
Aubade - January 2004Chosen by Barrie Rutter
A sulky fifty-six (Auden) means intimations of mortality are rather more frequent visitors to my mind than I'd like. The oblivion of death is what we all fear I think, and Larkin grabs it by the scruff of its neck and hangs it in front of you in a shivering way.
