Never such innocence,
Never before or since,
As changed itself to past
Without a word – the men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
Never before or since,
As changed itself to past
Without a word – the men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
(Philip Larkin, MCMXIV, 1923)
porquê 1914 em numeração romana seguido de 1923? (a foto parece ser dos anos 20, de facto)
ResponderEliminarA fotografia é dos anos 20.
EliminarQuanto ao poema, é esse o título, «MCMXIV»
