Free Response on "Here"

In this Ode the author, Philip Larkin, describes his emotion toward the different places that he has been traveling to. The author really only uses two different tones, one to describe the city and one to show his emotion to nature.

First the poem starts out east where there’s traffic everywhere, but quickly he goes through a field that is described in detail. Next it’s of to a large town that is patronized by Larkin, because of there cheap suits, bad smells and mortgaged cheaply built homes. But when it comes to talking about nature, silence and solitude the author has a benevolent love and tone for nature.
