Philip Larkin - Much better stay in company!To love you must have someone...

Much better stay in company!To love you must have someone else, Giving requires a legatee, Good neighbours need whole parishfulsOf folk to do it on - in short, Our virtues are all social; if, Deprived of solitude, you chafe, It's clear you're not the virtuous sort.
