Philip Larkin’s Poetry: Themes, Form, Style, Imagery and Symbolism
poetry of Eliot (that, in fact, resemble nothing like the one of Larkin), but like a rupture
with the world of the modernism, that Terry Whalen characterizes as “to landscape of
the mind in which makes specific metaphors, images and action and spiritual symbols
signifiers of a complex state of internality” (1986, 95), and like the grubbing of that
new territory mentioned by Bayley, a territory that Esteban Pujals describes with detail:
“The poetry of Larkin constitutes the most current context of the life. Thus, if
the references to the old world, with their Biblical and classic thematic, seem to
him irrelevant and dead for man of today, the poetry that he thinks that he must
conscientiously write is the one that is related to the daily experiences,
expressed in the prosaic objectivity that demands its realism”. (1973, 177)
