Here

                              Here

• Themes: Modern consumerism and destruction, solitary Nature.
• Like in 'The Whitsun Weddings', a constant sense of motion is suggested through words such as "swerving", implying that the speaker is on a train and is watching as switching views of modernity and nature clash.
• Caesura may  be used to show halts or momentary pauses as the train changes direction and enjambment highlights the movement of the train. 
• The exact destination of "here" is undefined as the poem takes the reader to various locations, however, it could represent the end of the journey or may not even be a specific, physical location.
• Larkin appears to be highly critical of the urban population, finding more beauty and appeal in the natural world than the human world. Whilst the "piled gold clouds" create a soothing and beautiful image, as the train nears the town, "gull-marked mud" and "stealing flat-faced trolleys" appear to ruin the image. The word "sneaking" suggests to the reader that even the trams are suspicious and shady and people's only "desires" in life seem to be to buy "cheap" items as replacements for any real dreams they might harbour.
• The people that are seen are described as " raw" and "simple"- demeaning descriptions which seem to suggest that the working class lack intelligence and are unrefined. Larkin further criticises them for their "mortgaged" houses, showing that they are tied down and in effect, are all part of the "slave museum".
• Half- rhymes such as "shadows" and "meadows" partly connect modern life and nature but highlight that as one expands, the other disappears- the fields become "thin and thistled" (strained from having to fight modern expansion).
• The contrast between the human world and nature is also starkly shown as the cramped towns and "barge-crowded water" give way to the secret delights of nature. The phrase "luminously-peopled air ascends" relates to the horrible air polluted by people disappearing and "unfenced existence" beginning to reign. The sibilance of "silence stands" and "skies and scarecrows" show how soothing and peaceful nature can be, however, Larkin ends on the profound note that freedom and true happiness are "out of reach". This could be interpreted to mean that people have become too caught up in the complexities of modern life and can never go back to a simple existence. It has also been suggested that 'Here' is a poem about finding solace in solitude (as a misanthropist would e.g. "loneliness clarifies") or even that the journey represents that taken by wind, which is eventually lost to the ocean.
