I have often wondered if this kinda famous poem of Larkin's is in
there---with "the cold" to
add resonance---cold, an old self-evident trope by now.
The words are so plain that one also thinks 'nothing happening here, move
right along in that
text old man, yet.......Why did P even have to mention the windows?
Sentence works perfectly well without or with just 'windows".

p.22 Frick Frack Club.

from the article below: "Frick and Frack" has become an English slang
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang> term used in two ways. One is to
refer to two people so closely associated as to be indistinguishable; the
other way is as a term of derision for any two people, on par with calling
one person a "Bozo <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozo_the_Clown>" or three
people "Stooges <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges>".[2]
