    In the poem “Toads” by Philip Larkin‚ a man who never makes himself known begins to talk about two toads. Although not being literal‚ the man uses toads as a metaphor for objects within his life which hold him back from feeling purely accomplished.

The second toad is one which he finds within his subconscious which prompts him to work and never quit‚ despite how bad he wants to. The man soon
