Philip Larkin, "This Be the Verse"
They fuck you up, your mom and dad;
They may not mean to but they do.
They give you all the faults they had,
And add some new ones just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old style hats and coats,
Who half the time were sloppy stern,
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man;
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as quickly as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
Если дойдут руки, переведу.
