From Tweedledee to Tweedledum
Why Did I Dream Of You Last Night? by Philip Larkin
Why did I dream of you last night?
Now morning is pushing back hair with grey lightMemories strike home, like slaps in the face;
Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog
beyond the window.
So many things I had thought forgotten
Return to my mind with stranger pain:
- Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.
