Philip Larkin Here

He can see everyday life during his journey, traffic, workmen at dawn. He also describes his runner into hull by the employ Of the widening Of the river Hummer, which runs through Hull. It specifys that he started his journey where the river was thin and at its character and has followed the winding path to its mouth. At the end of the beginning(a) stanza, Larkin uses a concoction of impressions to describe the nature around him, gold clouds and shining gull marked mud.Larkin is using this mixture of positive words to describe a negative scene to expressionray a kind of beauty, Larkin tells the reader how it is, he is an observer. In the second stanza, Larkin describes the town, which shows that Larkin is near the ND of his journey. Larkin begins his portrayal of the town by using a list of descriptive words such as scattered streets, barge filled waters, spires and cranes. These unlike descriptive words show the activity of the port and portray a sense of confusion (scattere d and crowded).Hull is a very busy port town and used in exporting lots of goods and has been like that for many years, which is why Larkin is able to use the diachronic nature of the town in his poem, slave museum, residents of unprocessed estates (the word raw here suggests new, which shows how the port has probably been regenerated after the destruction caused in the struggle and the increase in demand for houses). Larkin is also telling the reader the meter period in which he is writing in, grim head-scarred wives, generally faded by working class women further the word grim puts a more depressing look on things.The time period is also portrayed in the description of the buses, flavourless faced trolleys, the new carriage of bus, with a flat face instead of curved. Also the list of different items t the end of stanza 2 show the boom in Britain after the Second World War with new technologies and the explosion of materialism. In stanza 3, the first line Larkin says urba n yet simple, this can either be interpreted in a negative way or a positive way. It could show how Larkin looks down on them and feels as though he is better than them which is negative, however, it could be portrayed as though Larkin is admiring their lifestyle in a nicer, positive way.Larkin describes the port as fishy-smelling unpolished Of ships the word pastoral is a strange word to use however it is a subsume to the country side (pastoral farming) and is also a possible reference to how the port has hanged over the years and got bigger and more used and so that is why it is fishy-smelling. Thee urban center does not define Larkin, he is not part of a cut- priced crowd or want mortgaged half-built houses, in fact, most of what the city is representing is the opposite of what Larkin actually wants, which is why the last stanza is all about an sequester place.In the last stanza of the poem, we start to understand how Larrikin preferable state isolation/ seclusion lonesomene ss clarifies which shows that Larkin is saying that you only really know who you be when you are alone. In the fourth stanza is where we find the first full stop of the poem which can be indicated as the train Larkin has been on has come to a halt. The caesuras in the first two lines of stanza four also help to tenseness the quietness and loneliness of the area where Larkin subsistd the rest of his life.We get other indications of loneliness and isolation in the poem Mr. Balance, where a man used to live in a flat by himself with only the bare essentials in it. Here silence stands the initial rhyme of the s sound and the caesura help to emphasis the stillness and how the poem now comes more static compared to the movement of the anterior three stanzas. The rhythm is changed by these caesuras which create a longer censure which also makes the poem feel slower and more static.Beyond the main foolery of the town, Larkin is able to find more description of beauty which would po pularly be missed because he has no distractions in this isolate place surreptitious weeds flower, neglected. By the end of the last stanza, Larkin has moved from his new theme to the beach where he stands, looking out over the water ends the bring in, face up the sun which indicates owe Larkin is now at peace, away from normal everyday madness, he is one with the elements and has no fear in facing the sun like he does with other commitments.This is also emphasizes with the soft alliteration sounds used to describe the area he is in shapes and shingle, institutionalise ascends. Larkin uses very clever use of language in the last stanza as he almost tries to paint a big picture on his canvas for his readers to see which is clearly indicated in the line bluish indifferent distance, he tries to describe colors to clearly show the graphic beauty. And the final line of the poem, really sums up Larrikin love of isolation and loneliness with the phase initiative, out of reach which are very unsociable words, however that accurately describes Larrikin personality.The last stanza is different to the previous stanzas because Larkin talks about cosmically and chief(a) objects rather than the materialistic objects by describing the sea, sun, flowers instead of plate glassed doors and flat faced trellises. There is a rhyming scheme used passim this poem which is very subtle and consist of very few perfect rhymes and more half rhymes.
