“Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“As soon as we are born, if we could but get up, bath, dress, shave, breakfast once for all, if we could cut these monotonous cycles of routine. If the sun rose it would stay up, or once we were alive we were immortal!”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (18891919)
“The reason artists show so little interest
In public freedom is because the freedom
Theyve come to feel the need of is a kind
No one can give them they can scarce attain
The freedom of their own material....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
