Transcription of The Trees By Philip Larkin [ Photo with Poem / Experiment22 ] Waterman

Philip Larkin was an English poet and novelist. After graduating from college, he made an effort to become a librarian, and spent almost his entire life working as a librarian at a university, where he is still one of the most well-known writers in Britain, speaking poetry in understated languages.

This poem is a poem made up of the artist's thoughts on trees that are deeply rooted in nature and is seen as a calm expression of new hopes for nature and human life.


The Trees    By Philip Larkin


​The trees are coming into leaf

Like something almost being said;

The recent buds relax and spread,

Their greenness is a kind of grief.


Is it that they are born again

And we grow old? No, they die too.

Their yearly trick of looking new

Is written down in rings of grain.


Yet still the unresting castles thresh

In fullgrown thickness every May.

Last year is dead, they seem to say,

Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

As I read this poem, I imagined looking into the rings of grain, so I imagined a scan of a ruler measuring length together.

This manuscript also used Waterman's Hemisphere fountain pen. This time, I changed the ink and used PILOT's irosizuku chiku-rin Ink. It's a beautiful ink.

The following is the original version of this photo.





Even though it's not a picture of a tree, I post this picture with the hope that the powerful energy of life can be felt well.


Thank you for reading my writing until the end today. 🙏
