Since The Majoriy Of Me (Philip Larkin poem)

Since the majority of me
Rejects the majority of you,
Debating ends forthwith, and we
Divide. And sure of what to do

We disinfect new blocks of days
For our majorities to rent
With unshared friends and unwalked ways,
But silence too is eloquent:

A silence of minorities
That unopposed at least, return
Each night with cancelled promises
They want renewed. They never learn.


P.S. I came across his name while taking online course ' The Art of Programming Concert'. This particular poem struck me most.
