wrote Philip Larkin. "They may not mean to, but they do." He went on to say that children simply inherited their parents' faults and told his readers that they should actually avoid having children.
But unpublished letters from Larkin to his parents Sydney and Eva show that he enjoyed a closer relationship with them than he portrayed in poems such as This Be The Verse.

I was just amazed to read this. It appears that in spite of what Larkin wrote in his poetry about his mum and dad, he felt very close to them and loved them dearly. Great to read about this.
