Comprehension Passage

Direction : Read the following poem and answer the question :

Talking in Bed

Talking in bed ought to be easiest,

Lying together there goes back so far.

An emblem of two people being honest.

Yet more and more time passes silently.

Outside, the wind's incomplete unrest

Builds and disperses clouds about the sky.

And dark towns heap up on the horizon.

None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why

At this unique distance from isolation

It becomes still more difficult to find

Words at once true and kind,

Or not untrue and not unkind.

Philip Larkin

The poet says that while lying in bed with one's companion it is difficult to find words which are

1
at once honest and caring
2
at once true and unkind
3
at once pure and impure
4
at once honest and touching
