I too have come to enjoy run-on stanzas but I do find the simultaneous retaining of capitalised lines is a contradiction in forms. A strange retention of an illogical historical habit. If punctuation is to be an expressive aid (I share Larkin's approach) then the caps destroy that expressive signal. Larkin himself used caps, which is confusing.
