    • Abstract:
      The article presents a review of Philip Larkin's "An Arundel Tomb," a poem combining familiar reminders of mortality in the Western arts and Christianity with wry wit to assert that motivational assumptions change frequently and render past intentions into lies. It mentions that Larkin's poem "An Arundel Tomb" gives an account of the tomb of the Earl and Countess Arundel, a tourist attraction located in England's Chichester Cathedral.
