It does look good.  This is not a criticism, why and when was it decided that we should omit the verse from Philip Larkin's MCMXIV?

It didn't look right, plus the copyright owners couldn't be arsed to reply.

Is it still under copyright? I thought there was a 60 year limit?

Wouldn't copyright not kick in from when it was first published, 1964 I think? That still takes us up to 2024 mind.

It's 50 years from the author's death.

Never knew that. I always believed it was a 60 year limit for songwriters / poets from time of publishing. (And I though the poem was older then that)
