philip


larkin


told


betty


mackereth


he


had



planned


her


seduction


“ you


planned


to


trap


yourself ? ”



she was unimaginative and lacked judgement


it's thanx to her his best work, his dairies were destroyed after his death


he did ask her to in his will but she shouldn't have


she should have just kept them and released them 10 years later


his writing was his life and it's best portion was lost posthumously




i


think


he


was


a

bit


silly


about


   women !
