Her green eyes slant, hair flaring in a fan
Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels
Begin on tilted violins to span
The whole revolving tall glass palace hall
Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;

As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk
She hears the caustic ticking of the clock. — Sylvia Plath
