The Less Deceived Quotes

“I would not dare
Console you if I could. What can be said,
Except that suffering is exact, but where
Desire takes charge, readings will grow erratic?”
― Philip Larkin, The Less Deceived

“Or is it just the past? Those flowers, that gate, These misty parks and motors, lacerate
Simply by being over; you
Contract my heart by looking out of date.”
― Philip Larkin, The Less Deceived
