Larkin was proud of this poem, which he privately attributed to Winifred Arnott, whom he once addressed in a letter as "Delicious Winifred". They met when Larkin moved to Belfast. Whatever she may have regarded his attentions, which as always were somewhat less than platonic, it didn't prevent her from marrying someone else - two someone elses eventually.
Larkin also wrote an uncollected poem for her, "Long roots moor summer" on her wedding day. It spoke of natural imperatives that we sometimes obey, in our manner. Though Larkin knew he couldn't.
