An Ordinary Day and A Special Day

 Philip Larkin's Days

What are days for?

Days are where we live.

They come, they wake us

Time and time over.

They are to be happy in:

 

Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question

Brings the priest and the doctor

In their long coats

Running over the fields.

 

"Shadows", 1887 by Charles Courtney Curran


director Ettore Scola's "A Special Day", 1977 featuring Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren
