‘Considering Philip Larkin’s observation about our not being suited to the long perspectives,
the weekend was a heartening one, with these products of the twentieth century’s allegedly
most libertine decade now voyaging into the upper reaches of their own Sixties and
beyond.’ Alan Franks (1966, English)
