Thursday Extracts: The Days of Philip Larkin

Philip Larkin Trail Hull

Days
What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.

Philip Larkin
1922–1985

Nights can be fun too.
