Rhyme Scheme is ABBCC, relatively simple to reflect how our knowledge of the world is simple in comparison to the complexities that we do not know.
This poem discusses the repetitive nature of humanity and a waste of youth, keeps Larkin’s tendency to be an external observer, and has a conversational...
Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But forced to qualify or so I feel,
Or Well, it does seem so:
Someone must know.
Strange to be ignorant of the way things work:
Their skill at finding what they need,
Their sense of shape, and punctual spread of seed,
And willingness to change;
Yes, it is strange,
Even to wear such knowledge- for our flesh
Surrounds us with its own decisions-
And yet spend all our life on imprecisions,
That when we start to die
have no idea why.
