 | | Maeve Brennan, the librarian colleague of Philip Larkin, who was one of the most enduring and important of his friends and lovers, died on June 11 2003 at the age of 73 in her home town of Hull. |
 | | Maeve often partnered him, because he said she was the only person he dared to dance with. |
 | | Maeve found him to be deeply sensitive, idealistic, yearning for warmth and affection, with a spiritual appreciation of nature and the countryside, and a feeling for religion, especially the Anglican church, that (as with Hardy) belied his stance as an unbeliever. |
