Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?
Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.
- As always Larkin uses such simple language and yet makes me think about something pretty complex. "Days are where we live!" - amazingly straightforward yet thought-provoking. When attempting to solve the riddle of life and being philiosophical we run the risk of people thinking there is something wrong with us.
