Most of the post-modern writers including Philip Larkin show ambivalence toward some metaphysical or religious motifs in their poetry. Under the so-called scientific world view they should not confess their religious faith or reveal the spiritual insight conclusively, but they, nevertheless, could not avoid expressing regret or envy about the past traditional belief and its consolation. A bird beshorn of wings, as in Thomas Hardy’s “The Impercipient”, can not soar into the sky but go earth-bound against its will. Though the consolations of religion was officially unavailable to Larkin throughout his life, he also envied those who had faith and fervently wished to embrace it. But his “intellectual purity” largely restrained him from subscribing to Christian belief. To believe at all deeply in the Christian God, as Amis announces in The Anti-Death League, was a disgrace to human decency and intelligence. It is undeniable that there is a strong current of skepticism running through Larkin’s all four volumes of poetry. However, his agnosticism does not entirely exclude sympathy with religious feeling in many of his visionary poems. This kind of apparently contradicting emotional and intellectual conflict between modern scientific world view and religious perspective was the source of his poetic creation.
