There are only a few similarities between ’Afternoons’‚ by Philip Larkin‚ and ’Churning Day’‚ by Seamus Heaney. These feature mainly in the structure of the two poems.

In Seamus Heaney’s poem‚ “Blackberry Picking‚” the writer employs diction to illustrate greed. He then parallels his experiences with picking and rotting berries to a deeper meaning through a shift- human’s desperate obsession with preserving all that is good in their life.
