Naturally The Foundation Will Bear Your Expenses

Analysis of Naturally The Foundation Will Bear Your Expenses by Philip Larkin


- Self-centered persona; possesive 'my Comet' 'made my taxi late' - doesn't care about the memorial, just annoyed it's made him late to catch his plane.
- 'I pondered pages Brekley/ Not three weeks since had heard' - plagiarism; recylcing essay.
- 'Queen and Minister/ And Band of Guards' - people reminiscing are the ones who made the decision for soldiers to go over the top.
- 'When will England grow up?' - stop wasting time thinking about the dead and get on with your own life.
- Most Larkin poems: mundane before serious. This: Serious, then forgets about it and moves on to something mundane.
