How frail the human heart must be - a mirrored pool of thought.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Secretly, in studies and attics and schoolrooms all over America, people must be writing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
..I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

A terrible depression yesterday. Visions of my life petering out into a kind of soft-brained stupor from lack of use.

I have stitched life into me like a rare organ

Image
The silence between us was so profound I thought part of it must be my fault.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Winning or losing an argument, receiving an acceptance or rejection, is no proof of the validity or value of personal identity. One may be wrong, mistaken, or a poor craftsman, or just ignorant - but this is no indication of the true worth of one's total human identity: past, present and future!
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need more than anything right now what is, of course, most impossible, someone to love me, to be with me at night when I wake up in shuddering horror and fear of the cement tunnels leading down to the shock room, to comfort me with an assurance that no psychiatrist can quite manage to convey.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.
Sylvia Plath
Image
In spite of everything, I still have my good old sense of humor.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt the mask crumple, the great poisonous store of corrosive ashes begin to spew out of my mouth.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Ash, ash —- You poke and stir. Flesh, bone, there is nothing there—— A cake of soap, A wedding ring, A gold filling. Herr God, Herr Lucifer Beware Beware. Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air.
