"High Windows" is seen by many as a cry of protest, a stark description of everyday life that in its desolation leaves no room for the subtlety or sensual imagery associated with poets like Asworth. However, in his series of seemingly “hard” poems one finds many moments of dreamy imagery that have to do with an almost religious fascination with the elements, both in length in “Solar” and as thought in “Old Fools.” What fascinates him is the continuity of the elements, which constantly survive the conquests and actions of man and are ultimately all that remains. “High Windows” is peculiar in that in it entire poems are dedicated to the idea of ​​the elements, one of these poems is “Solar”. "Solar" is unique for a Larkin poem in its role as an exclamatory rather than an explanatory poem. It is entirely made up of "self-contained" images that appear to be there solely to glorify the elements. Larkin sees humanity as short-term humanity, with death forever a shadow that we try to ignore and forget (as he shows in "The Building" when he describes death and the hospital as the real world and life outside the hospital like the fake world). The elements survive man and therefore, in their eternity, are more powerful and important as in the "Tomb of Arundel" where the "dateless snow" survives the love symbolized by the statues holding hands. One could of course argue that "Solar" is nothing more than an effort to criticize traditional poetry and the vacuous quality of society, yet "Solar" seems genuine in its intent. Through Larkin's images of the sun we can see his point of view on people, so when he says that the sun rains "without reward", he means that he worships the sun because he asks for nothing in return for his actions, he "gives forever" , unlike people...... middle of paper ......re she's taking pills or wearing a diaphragm, I know this is heaven" Yet, as the poem progresses, he sees that the visions of heaven are constantly changing and shifting, so his parents would envy his religious freedom and view his situation as freedom He recognizes that the only heaven that does not change is the “glass that includes the sun” and “the deep blue air ", then he once again affirmed his veneration for the. continuity of the elements. Larkin has a stereotypical and harsh view of people and with it comes an awe, a reverence for the elements so that every time we encounter them, his language changes, losing its harshness, restoring its vision that life is beautiful, therefore that its elementary images are always poetic in the traditional sense while its criticism is always in the appropriate language (e.g. "They pissed you off, your mom and your dad.").
