• They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
• They may not mean to, but they do.
• ...
• Man hands on misery to man.
• It deepens like a costal shelf.

— larkin, 1-2 / 9-10 this be the verse

--

• A serious house on serious earth it is,
• In whose bent air all our compulsions meet,
• Are recognised, and robed as destinies.
• And that much can never be obsolete,
• Since someone will forever be surprising
• A hunger in himself to be more serious,
• And gravitating with it to this ground,
• Which, he once heard, was proper to grow wise in,
• If only that so many dead lie round.
