    “Uncontradicting solitude
    Supports me on its giant palm;
    And like a sea-anemone
    or simple snail, there cautiously
    Unfolds, emerges, what I am.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “And seniors grow tomorrow
    From the juniors today,
    And even swimming groups can fade,
    Games mistresses turn grey.”
