I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

I am dead to them, even though I once flowered.
Sylvia Plath
Image
O heart, such disorganization!
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like you, but not too much. I don’t want to like anybody too much.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
I wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost...but won't. It is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. I want someone to mouth me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to kill myself, to escape from responsiblity, to crawl abjectly back into the womb.
Sylvia Plath

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Miracles occur, If you dare to call those spasmodic Tricks of radiance miracles. The wait's begun again, The long wait for the angel, For that rare, random descent.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt very low. I had been unmasked only that morning by Jay Cee herself, and I felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions I had about myself were coming true. After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of race.
