"An Arundel Tomb" by Philip Larkin and "Love Is Not a Pie," by Amy Bloom


Effigies believed to be of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel (d.1376) and his second wife, Eleanor of Lancaster (d.1372).  They are now located in Chichester Cathedral, and are the inspiration for Philip Larkin's poem "An Arundel Tomb."  A lion lies at the feet of the Earl, a dog at his wife's.
