Ariel by Sylvia Plath
4.0

Favourites -

- Tulips "The tulips are too red in the first place, they hurt me.
Even through the gift paper I could hear them breathe"


- The Moon and the Yew Tree "I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering
Blue and mystical over the face of the stars"


- Daddy "Not God but a swastika
So black no sky could squeak through"


- The Munich Mannequins "Perfection is terrible, it cannot have children.
Cold as snow breath, it tamps the womb"


- Edge "The moon has nothing to be sad about,
Staring from her hood of bone"


Poetry in its most exquisite form.
