Analysis and comments on At Grass by Philip Larkin

Comment 2 of 2, added on April 27th, 2006 at 5:34 AM.

This poem explores the fate of retired racehorses, which were once popular and well-groomed, but which have now been put out to grass in a field - and in fact out to die. It makes one think about old age in humans - how we are sidelined when we are no longer wanted

I find this one of the most beautiful, subtle, and touching poems I have read.
