Abstract
Larkin's anthology, 'High Windows', shows some recurrent themes, like life and death, aging, youth and sexuality, religion and socialising, that run through the different poems, linking and contrasting them. The presence of symbols is quite significant and can be seen as a common point between the poems. As far as the language is concerned, a certain structure can be found in most of his poems; he uses some techniques of language to create various effects on the reader. Larkin tackles the theme of life and death in almost all the poem's of the anthology; he insists on the inevitability of death.
