About The Poet-Philip Arther Larkin
Philip Larkin was born in Coventry, England on 9th August 1922. He attended St. John’s College, Oxford. His first book of poetry, ‘The North Ship’, was published in 1945. In 1946 Larkin came in close contact with the poetry of Thomas Hardy and became a great admirer of his works.
He learned from Hardy how to use commonplace details of our life in poetry. With the publication of his second volume of poetry,
‘The Less Deceived’, Larking became the eminent poet of his generation and a leading voice of ‘The Movement’. Like Hardy, Larkin focused on intense personal emotion and avoided sentimentality.

फिलिप लर्किन का जन्म इंगलैंड के कवेन्ट्री में 9 अगस्त, 1922 ई० में हुआ था। उनकी शिक्षा-दीक्षा ऑक्सफोर्ड के सेंट जॉन कॉलेज में हुई। उनकी प्रथम कविता पुस्तक ‘द नार्थ शिप’ (उत्तर का जहाज) 1945 ई० में प्रकाशित हुई ।
लर्किन 1946 ई० में थॉमस हार्डी की कविताओं के घनिष्ट संपर्क में आये और उनकी कविता प्रतिभा से मंत्रमुग्ध हुए ।
उन्होंने हार्डी से ही सीखा कि किस प्रकार हम अपने जीवन की अति सामान्य घटनाओं को कविता में व्यवहार किया करते हैं। अपनी दूसरी कविता ग्रंथ ‘The Less Deceived’ के प्रकाशन के बाद वे अपने समय के विख्यात कवि और ‘The Movement’ के एक अग्रणी कंठध्वनि के रूप में गण्य हुए।
हार्डी की भांति ही लर्किन भी गहन व्यक्तिगत अनुभूति तथा भावावेग को वर्जन किये थे ।
1964 ई० में ‘The Whitsun Weddings’ प्रकाशन के जरिये एक महत्वपूर्ण कवि के बतौर वे अपना सम्मान तथा ख्याति को निश्चित किये।
यह और भी गहराई से निश्चित हुआ जब 1974 ई० में उनकी ‘High Windows ‘ का प्रकाशन हुआ। एक तीव्र असामाजिक, अमेरिका के Jazz के कठोर समालोचक और प्रेमी लर्किन अविवाहित थे तथा हॉल शहर में एक ग्रन्थागार के रूप में कार्यरत थे जहाँ 2 दिसंबर, 1985 ई० में उनका देहांत हुआ।

The author of this poem, Philip Larkin was an eminent writer in post-war England. As a poet, he earned national fame but always preferred to avoid the limelight.
He achieved acclaim for the strength of a small body of work. Larkin employed traditional tools of poetry such as rhyme, stanza, and meter to represent the uncomfortable experiences of common people in the modern age.
To support himself, he worked as a librarian for more than forty years and I wrote in his spare time. He authored two novels ‘Jill’ and ‘A Girl in Winter’.
His first book of poetry was ‘The North Ship’. He came to prominence in 1955 with the publication of his second collection of poems, ‘The Less Deceived’. His other collection of poems is ‘The Whitsun Weddings’ and ‘High Windows’.
The present poem describes the journey of three ships that head to different destinations. While two ships return, one presses forward and faces perils to continue its long journey. The ship is like a symbol of aspiration that overcomes all obstacles.

Midnapore district-month of July-heavy rainfall-‘rivers overflowing-trees uprooted, many villages flooded-loss of human and animal life-rescue operations-steps taken by the government.
Answer: A Devastating Flood In Midnapore By A Staff Reporter Midnapore, July 1: A large area of the Midnapore district has been seriously affected by a devastating flood in this month of July.
The flood was caused by heavy rainfall for the last few days. Several rivers like Shilabati, Rupnarayan, and Keleghai were overflowed by heavy downpours. Many villages under Sabang, Ghatal, Sultanpur, and other sub-divisions were completely flooded.
A huge number of trees were uprooted and thus communications came to a halt. Meanwhile, at least 38 people died and more than 5000 cattle were swept away by this flood.
The state government has sent cooked food, tarpaulin sheets, medical teams, and pouches of drinking water to the affected areas. About 60,000 people have been rescued and sent to the relief camp so far. The Chief Minister visited the affected areas and promised all sorts of help.
