    i agree, it's nice even though the referral to death is present. but the only thing which bothers me is i'm confused about what it is about.

    I like this poem - it has a sense of calm and beauty that I haven't experienced in many of Sylvia's poems - still the ever present fascination with death 'when I lie down finally...' reminding me that it is Plath I'm reading.
