    Here we sit at our desks; I'm sure Plath would have descibed us as having a bowl of peanuts beside us.

    Ah Sylvia Plath; a very deep person she was, thus outstanding poetry.

    One day, she went downstairs to the kitchen, stuch her head in the oven - and ended it all.

    Such rage, such sudden insights are not seen in many. She was unique.

    I'm unable to access any of her poems, the links appear dead at this moment. Has their been a dispute in sharing her poetry on here, or this is a temporary technical glitch?

    I have been a SylviaPlath fan since I was a teen. I still love her, and am amazed with her talent. Some say she did not get treatment bc it might have diluted her talent...sad. Very sad end to a brillaint woman. A real loss.

    Sylvia Plath one of the best American poets. It is sad thing that she commited suicide because she could really great poetry. We lost a genius when she passed away. Despite that she is one of my mentor poets.

Perseus

The Triumph of Wit Over Suffering

Head alone shows you in the prodigious act
Of digesting what centuries alone digest:
The mammoth, lumbering statuary of sorrow,
Indissoluble enough to riddle the guts
Of a whale with holes and holes, and bleed him white
Into salt seas. Hercules had a simple time,
Rinsing those stables: a baby's tears would do it.
