Philip Larkin quote ✍️

Quote

Strange to know nothing, never to be sure Of what is true or right or real, But forced to qualify or so I feel, Or Well, it does seem so: Someone must know. Strange to be ignorant of the way things work: Their skill at finding what they need, Their sense of shape, and punctual spread of seed, And willingness to change; Yes, it is strange, Even to wear such knowledge--for our flesh Surrounds us with its own decisions--and yet spend all our life on imprecisions, That when we start to die Have no idea why.
Philip Larkin The Whitsun Weddings ignorance
