Naturally The Foundation Will Bear Your Expenses - Larkin

From this short poem we can see that the first stanza is about Larkin trailing around the world to show his lecture notes before he is able to have it published on radio. From this we get various words which show this occuring such as "Comet", "Bombay" and "Chatto". From these words we see that he is travelling to Bombay to deliver his lecture once more and the Chatto being a publisher that he is able to have his work published after he has done this.
From the middle stanza we see it change to a negative view towards the day known as Remembrance Day. From this we get various words such as "solemn-sinister" which imply to us that the Government is putting on an act for all the men that have lost their lives and not really being sympathetic. They are showing a solemn face to the public making it sinister for they are not really feeling what families and friends of those men truly feel. It is placed as also being ironic for they are showing the public that they care and yet continue to send soldiers out to fight in wars.
From the phrase, "Had made my taxi late" and "colourless" we see that Larkin has little care towards these people dressed in black for he nearly missed his plane abroad. He finds it to be tedious and we see a very cruel attack from Larkin from the words "Wreath-rubbish".
From the final stanza we see Larkin take the thought of England to be childish and not grown up due to the fact that they still go on about fallen men all those years ago. From the line, "O When will England grow up?" we see that he is critical on how England is managed and does not like what is occuring in society.
Finaly we see Larkin change back as though nothing has occured with talking of going to the south and meeting this Professor. Throughout this poem we see the satire of academics being brought in and really the persona lacks sentiment and pity throughout this poem towards the death.
