Analysis and comments on I Remember, I Remember by Philip Larkin

Comment 2 of 2, added on April 7th, 2005 at 5:48 AM.

"I remember, I remember" is a quotation from the first line of a poem by Thomas Hood about his childhood. The sentimentality of Thomas Hood's poem adds to the irony of Larkin's poem in which he describes his childhood with little sentiment!

about how he didn't do all thoese things in the poem and how his life was just to be miserable... Ironic because there is nothing to remember
