It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.
Sylvia PlathI have no preconceptions. Whatever I see, I swallow immediately. Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful.
Sylvia PlathBackward we traveled to reclaim the day Before we fell, like Icarus, undone; All we find are altars in decay And profane words scrawled black across the sun.
Sylvia PlathTo the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.
