THE JUSTIFIED BLACKNESS IN LARKIN`S SELECTED POEMS

Abstract

Larkin `s poems are characterized with pessimism whose principle characteristics are hopelessness and inflexibly. His blackness is unique since it does not sweep all his poems; some of his poems are affirmative and hopeful.  Larkin`s pessimism are aroused sorely in front of specific sources.   His poems are injected with black outlook concerning life.  Even in some of his positive poems if these sources are existed blackness creeps to stain the words with either explicit or implicit gloom. The uniqueness of this blackness that distinguishes him from others is his justification to his black outlook. Exploring his poems can reveal    the sources of his depression that Larkin1s pen fail to surpass.
