SOMETHING ALMOST BEING SAID




If the worst
Of flawless weather is our falling short,
It may be that through habit these do best,
Coming to the water clumsily undressed
Yearly; teaching their children by a sort
Of clowning; helping the old, too, as they ought.

from To The Sea by Philip Larkin, 1969
