marymar discovered 2 months ago- From the page: "Many of us hate looking at photographs of ourselves, but Philip Larkin seems to have particularly disliked the process. He variously described portraits of himself as looking like "the late Stan Laurel", "CS Lewis on a drugs charge", or displaying "as much expression as a lump of sugar". On other occasions he complained he looked like "a cross between an egg and a bloodhound" and "an egg sculpted in lard, with goggles on". Article continues Larkin's self-deprecation is revealed in letters he sent to photographer Fay Godwin, whose vast archive of about 11,000 photographs, contact sheets, negatives and letters has been acquired by the British Library"
