The poet distrusted travel abroad and professed ignorance of foreign literature, including most modern American poetry. He also tried to avoid the cliches of his own culture, such as the tendency to read portent into an artist’s childhood. In his poetry and essays, Larkin remembered his early years as “unspent” and “boring,” as he grew up the son of a city treasurer in Coventry. Poor eyesight and stuttering plagued Larkin as a youth; he retreated into solitude, read widely, and began to write poetry as a nightly routine. In 1940 he enrolled at Oxford, beginning “a vital stage in his personal and literary development,” according to Bruce K. Martin in the Dictionary of Literary Biography.At Oxford Larkin studied English literature and cultivated the friendship of those who shared his special interests, including Kingsley Amis and John Wain. He graduated with first class honors in 1943, and, having to account for himself with the wartime Ministry of Labor, he took a position as librarian in the small Shropshire town of Wellington. While there he wrote both of his novels as well as The North Ship,his first volume of poetry. After working at several other university libraries, Larkin moved to Hull in 1955 and began a 30-year association with the library at the University of Hull. He is still admired for his expansion and modernization of that facility. Language: English Words: 40,000 Chapters: 2/2 Collections: 1 Comments: 13 Kudos: 4 Bookmarks: 1 Hits: 332

After meeting people who won't take advantage of him for once, Hunter starts realizing how bad Belos was to him. As the situation unfurled in the Netherlands, Philip's Grand Strategy developed along lines already outlined as 'classic' by Parker in the first part of his book: Philip, being a control freak, sought to 'micromanage policy' and left detailed but restrictive lists of how the Low Countries were to be dealt with by his regent, Margaret of Parma. Philip had not taken advice to rule from the Netherlands and, as such, soon became out-of-touch with concerns and interests there. He managed to antagonise many sections of the Netherlands community and individuals who had previously been at each others throats saw the opportunity to unite against a common threat. When Philip and his regent were perceived to have retreated on their policy concerning the Netherlands, this was seen as governmental weakness and led to an increase in opposition. In the early 1560s, Philip neglected the Netherlands for the Mediterranean and failed to respond to increasing provocations. The classic concern of too many identifiable problems to deal with at one time is demonstrated clearly and with verve. Philip was unwilling to undertake action necessary to solve the solution. In the politically correct twenty-first century, his humanity is seen as a virtue - he refused to open the sluices and flood the troublesome area. Humanity is, however, subjective - to early modern contemporaries, Philip was too weak to undertake the (admittedly unpalatable) action required to quench the threat of rebellion. Admittedly he received conflicting advice - 'I do not know the truth of what is happening' - but his indecision and ultimately limited response only stored up problems for later in his reign.

Much that is admirable in the best of [Larkin’s] work is felt [in Collected Poems]: firmness and delicacy of cadence, a definite geography, a mutually fortifying congruence between what the language means to say and what it musically embodies,” asserted Seamus Heaneyin the Observer.The collection contains Larkin’s six previous volumes of poetry as well as 83 of his unpublished poems gleaned from notebooks and homemade booklets. The earliest poems (which reflect the style and social concerns of W.H. Auden) date from his schooldays and the latest close to his death. Writing in the Chicago Tribune Books, Alan Shapiropointed out, “Reading the work in total, we can see how Larkin, early and late, is a poet of great and complex feeling.” Larkin “[endowed] the most commonplace objects and occasions with a chilling poignancy, [measuring] daily life with all its tedium and narrowness against the possibilities of feeling,” adds Shapiro. You peg Philip Wittebane because he's an annoying son of a bitch. That's it, that's the fic.

You make his life difficult, using your position in the Emperor's Coven as an opportunity to do so. One day he snaps, confronts you, and then you do him in your bed. The series is set in the small town of Harmony, which is located in Indiana. As towns go, this one is a pretty classic small town just like any other. With a corner store and people that are used to a slow pace of life, things are pretty idyllic here. Not a lot happens that changes everything, The things that go down here tend to be small things and not grand gestures. This is a place where time stands apart. Philip had needed to save his older brother, Caleb, from the clutches of the witch who enchanted the blonde into following her into the strange portal. The emperor was a highly revered man, and rightfully so. He had saved witches from the threat of wild magic, and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the creation and maintenance of the coven system. Most witches surely saw him as infallible, which was why no one would ever imagine what kind of undertakings their dear emperor committed under the cover of night, whether that be reconstructing a portal to the human realm, or attending to more risqué matters.

And there are three ancestors who are giving the reader a hard time: Amity’s, Boscha’s, and Willow’s. Language: English Words: 39,026 Chapters: 8/? Comments: 130 Kudos: 550 Bookmarks: 57 Hits: 12,068 Larkin arrived at his conclusions candidly, concerned to expose evasions so that the reader might stand “naked but honest, ‘less deceived’ ... before the realities of life and death,” to quote King. Larkin himself offered a rather wry description of his accomplishments—an assessment that, despite its levity, links him emotionally to his work. In 1979 he told the Observer:“I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any… Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.”Two weeks later, he was transferred to St Bart’s Hospital for treatment for an infection and heart condition. Belos becomes both reminiscent and terrified when storms come in. Language: English Words: 6,472 Chapters: 1/1 Comments: 4 Kudos: 23 Hits: 324
