Analysis and comments on When First We Faced, And Touching Showed by Philip Larkin

Comment 1 of 1, added on November 14th, 2004 at 4:45 PM.

I love Larkin's poetry. I encountered one or two while still at school, and they always stuck in my mind. This one however, has to be my favourite of all of his poems, as it's one that makes so much sense to me personally, and I feel as if it were almost written for me!
