Analysis and comments on Homage To A Government by Philip Larkin
Comment 3 of 3, added on May 23rd, 2006 at 9:27 AM. Kyle is right! the line that appears to be missing is: "Must guard themselves, and keep themselves orderly." Bekz xx Bekz from United Kingdom Comment 2 of 3, added on December 25th, 2005 at 2:52 AM. There's a line missing in the first stanza; as you'll notice the first stanza is a line shorter than the other two. The line should be between line 3 and line 4, commenting on line three. Please fix the poem. Kyle Tucker from United States Comment 1 of 3, added on November 7th, 2005 at 7:28 AM. totaly true awsome from United States
