Sylvia Plath Quotes

The Tulips Are Too Red In The First Place, They Hurt Me.
Even Through The Gift Paper I Could Hear Them Breathe
Lightly, Through Their White Swaddlings, Like An Awful Baby.
Their Redness Talks To My Wound, It Corresponds.
They Are Subtle : They Seem To Float, Though They Weigh Me Down,
Upsetting Me With Their Sudden Tongues And Their Color,
A Dozen Red Lead Sinkers Round My Neck.
Nobody Watched Me Before, Now I Am Watched.
The Tulips Turn To Me, And The Window Behind Me
Where Once A Day The Light Slowly Widens And Slowly Thins,
And I See Myself, Flat, Ridiculous, A Cut-paper Shadow
Between The Eye Of The Sun And The Eyes Of The Tulips,
And I Have No Face, I Have Wanted To Efface Myself.
The Vivid Tulips Eat My Oxygen.
