Description
Philip Larkin’s second collection, The Less Deceived was published by The Marvell Press in 1955, and now appears for the first time in Faber covers.
The eye can hardly pick them out
From the cold shade they shelter in,
Till wind distresses tail and mane;
Then one crops grass, and moves about
– The other seeming to look on –
And stands anonymous again.
from ‘At Grass’
