Ignorance - Philip Larkin
rhyme scheme - aabbccddeeff - first line of each stanza is excluded.
informal and vague language.
links with 'Quests'
Stanza 1: about being a child - uninformed and doubtful - questioning - 'never to be sure of what is true or right or real' 'someone must know'
Stanza 2: about being a teenager - not wanting to be told what to do - thinking that you are right - 'Their skill at finding what they need'
Stanza 3: about being and adult or someone elderly - loosing control of yourself - death taking over - 'for our flesh surrounds us with its own decisions' - 'that when we start to die we have no idea why' - go back to being uninformed.
