Quote:
I hate Larkin. Hate him. Hate.
He is a poet who knows all the right spells and uses them to make the world appear a worse place that it is.
Thou hast conquered, O pale Librarian. And the world has grown grey from thy breath.

Funny how divisive he is nearly 50 years after his last collection. Some people love him and some think he's a kind of baleful magician of death. Ha. And even people here who agree about most other things are split: for example I know Cally loves him while Nemo I don't think is keen. I think this at least proves he's going to be around for a while.
Edit: interesting essay, Max.
