Home Is So Sad

Analysis of Home Is So Sad by Philip Larkin



"It stays as it was left" "As if to win them back" "bereft of anyone to please, it withers so"
- House is personified; adds sympathy. 'withers' - like the house is dying.

"Having no heart to put aside the theft"
- House has been robbed of its family.

"And turn again to what it started as,/ A joyous shot at how things ought to be"
 - House is supposed to have people in it, but the time has passed and it has to move on.
