I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.

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.

I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath

If only a group of people were more important to me than the idea of a Novel, I might begin a novel.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am flushed and warm. I think I may be enormous, I am so stupidly happy, My wellingtons Squelching and squelching through the beautiful red.
