When I read the poem I was a bit upset!
well, I personally think that when Larkin talks about the couple of kids making sex, is refering to the changes in the society, after the Second World War: religious changes, social changes and above all, cultural ones.
In the 2 stanza, he refers to the old generations that cannot appreciate the feedom of the youth, of the new generation anymore because they had a lot of bonds and thresholds!
Are also important the last 2 stanzas when he talks about God who doesn't exist anymore, the priest who lost his importance and he cannot be a guide for human being!Both are like free bloody birds!
The HIGH WINDOWS in the last part of the poem, can be the a kind of telescope through that we can see and undestand a lot of things, and behind these windows, there is the deep blue air, the knowledge!
That's my personal opinion!

I think in the poam "Toads" by Philip Larkin is his way of complaining about his life. The "Toads" in his life I beleive are work, lack of money, and something "inside himself" is either his lack of charm or his unfortuanate appearance (look up the picture). Basically this is a poem about his resentment of his life. I don't know I think it's a stupid poem and isn't worth reading, but unfortuantly my English teacher diagrees.
