I Don't Believe in Love, but Even as I Press That Unbelief, I Have Hope That It Might Be True

Larkin is saying, look, i am a cynic. I don't really believe in in love. And so he endeavours to undermine it. The hope comes from us noticing that when he argues his case, he uses dodgy methods - you can't get round the fact that dockery's son is at docker e had a son. It might well be a beautiful, non egotistical, complicated thing like a lot of father and son relationships. Perhaps every father and son, and maybe the couple really were in love. But ofes, i doesn't. It doesn't really and er.
