Charles Davis passed along This Guardian Story that says A lawnmower believed to have been the inspiration for one of Philip Larkin\’s last published – and best known – poems has
become one of the most unusual additions to the University of
Hull\’s archives.
Archivist Brian Dyson said it was likely the machine was the
one Larkin was using when he accidentally killed a hedgehog,
which inspired the poem, The Mower, published in 1979.
