From a 1979 letter from Philip Larkin to Kingsley Amis.

Dear Kingsley,

I write at 4:30 on a Sunday—well, this one, to be precise—what you might call the arse-hole of the week. Lunchtime drink dead, not time for six o’clock gin. Tea? Don’t make me cross. Sorry you are feeling lowdown; I sympathise. I don’t know that I ever expected much of life, but it terrifies me to think it’s nearly over. I mean there can’t possible now be any good bits like going to Corfu with some b***y ex-Roedean girl WHOSE FATHER GIVES HER LOTS OF MONEY and who loves being pocked (‘it’s better every time, oh darling’), or being a novelist. I don’t want any of that swearing. I mean, you’ve become what I dreamed of becoming, and I don’t suppose you ever dreamed of being a librarian. If I’m so good why don’t they pay me enough money to go to some southern beach and lie on my belly (or someone else’s)? Eh? Now there can only be don’t normally take on anyone over 55, like to do a few tests if you don’t mind, am returning it because it isn’t really up to your own high standard, afraid I must stop coming Mr Larkin hope you find another cleaning lady to

AAARRRRGHGHGHGH

TV seems awful these days. I got one last December, and it was all right for a bit, but now the novelty’s worn off I suppose and there seems nothing but chat shows and non-comedy and B-films and NEWS—God how I hate news—I can’t watch it—to see these awful s**t marching or picketing or saying the ma’er wi’ noo be referred back to thu Na’ional Exe’u’ive is too much for me. Why don’t they show NAKED WOMEN, or PROS AND CONS OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN GIRLS’ SCHOOL oh for God’s sake Phil can’t you NO I CAN’T

For God’s sake keep writing dear man, for life’s unexciting.

Penelope Fitzgerald’s prize-winning bum,

Philip

NEW SHORT FILM: ‘A Formidable Spell’

Watch the film at the link in our bio.

Produced by Valet for

An original concept, campaign, and video advertisement for Amaro Formidabile, proud partner of the upcoming Valet Issue 6.

Handmade in Rome from a recipe of eleven botanicals devised and perfected by the late Armando Bomba, the film focuses not only the all-natural ingredients that make up this bittersweet digestivo, but the inspiration, the imagination, behind Armando’s lifelong pursuit of liquid perfection. The result is ‘A Formidable Spell’.

‘But the truth of the matter, the explanation for this slough of despond, is that the gentleman is young; age and fatigue are yet to bestow their wisdom and the realization that it is only he who perceives his awkwardness. The public at large see only a striking and composed figure, outsmarting the rest in his suit and tie. A scion of a minor aristocratic family, perhaps; an independent-minded gentleman of taste, certainly; and likely, a French film star—or an actor playing one; because only the French can smoke with such languid self-assurance.’

NEW SHORT FILM: Ill At Ease

In collaboration with

Watch at the link in our bio.
______

‘No matter his mettle, when it comes to the question of his outward appearance, vexing thoughts are wont to insinuate themselves into the tranquil waters of the mind of the gentleman, nagging at his sense of self, wearing at his nerve.

‘He becomes acutely aware of the world’s gaze, like the glare of an invisible sun he can feel but cannot see. In a word, the gentleman feels self-conscious. On any other occasion, our hero would have contented himself with silently celebrating the condescending obliviousness of the archetypal Parisian waiter as a testament to the dignity of a man firm on his own territory; today, however, he is ill at ease.’

Back from the shops with new reading material. Now all that remains is to find a home in the flat for the Valet Collection.

Each issue of Valet is a beautiful object to keep and collect, as uncompromising about its appearance as it is about the contents of its pages.

Not only does Valet celebrate ‘timeless’ style through its written and visual expression, its very editorial objective is to publish content that is as relevant today as in twenty years’ time.

It is in shape and matter what it is in purpose: truly timeless, as is any real sophistication or style.

“Leisure first made man formidable on earth.”

Might it still?

What could demonstrate this more clearly, than a chap dancing in solitude in his garden to superlative music and indulging his genius for leisure? This is leisure incarnate, leisure made flesh, leisure at its highest pitch.

Two chums were separated by circumstance. The one went in search of beautiful things in distant lands, and eventually shipped the other a tape entitled ‘Amazônia’, to which he and his leisure danced.

The thinking man knows that good taste owes its development not to hard work or even learning, but to leisure.

The value of leisure is its effect on character. It avails nothing unless it ennobles and strengthens that

It is for life and for living; its aims are beauty and goodness. It is good for its own sake, and should be sought with all the energy and enthusiasm available to you, and indulged in whenever possible, with no shortage of vim and vigour, in saecula saeculorum ...

During the interwar period, a group of young Berliners spend a languid Sunday at the beach, where they can forget the horrors of the working week, that pestilence of unending toil.

The film Menschen am Sontag (1930) offers up a portrait of the zenith of an era that no longer is, and a too poignant a reminder —in light of the paroxysm of hatred and stupidity that was soon to swallow up that country and its culture—that the beautiful and pleasurable are only so because they are temporary.
