Two suicides, the family wolves,
Hours of blankness. Some hard stars
Already yellow the heavens.
The spider on its own string
Stanza 1
The fountains are dry and the roses over.
Incense of death. Your day approaches.
The pears fatten like little buddhas.
A blue mist is dragging the lake.
Nourishes these broken flutings,
These crowns of acanthus,
And the crow settles her garments.
You inherit white heather, a bee's wing,
You move through the era of fishes,
The smug centuries of the pig-
Head, toe and finger
Come clear of the shadow. History
The end
Thank You!
Sylvia Plath quotes about death
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I have a call.
Stanza 5:
"Crosses...difficult borning"
Crosses the lake. The worms
Quit their usual habitations.
The small birds converge, converge
With their gifts to a difficult borning.
Stanza 4:
Two suicides... yellow the heavens"
Life and death
Stanza 3:
""Nourishes.. bee's wing"
Stanza 2:
You move..of the shadow".
This poem was written after her Husband's death, and also has implications about her Father's death.
The theme of death is therefore evident throughout the poem.
"The fountains.. little buddhas"
