by Philip Larkin

Philip Larkin

This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.

Quotes of the Day

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
