Sylvia Plath
Image
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it.

Sylvia Plath
Image
Talking about my fears to others feeds it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like the date on a tombstone.
Sylvia Plath
Image
To look at her, you might not guess that inside she is laughing and crying, at her own stupidities and luckiness, and at the strange enigmatic ways of the world which she will spend lifetime trying to learn and understand.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
We stayed at home to write, to consolidate our outstretched selves.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The moon has nothing to be sad about, Staring from her hood of bone. She is used to this sort of thing. Her blacks crackle and drag.
