Additional quotes by Sylvia Plath

It is raining. I am tempted to write a poem. But I remember what it said on one rejection slip: After a heavy rainfall, poems titled RAIN pour in from across the nation.

It is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.

So many of us!
So many of us! We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible, Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies: We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door.

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream. - Sylvia Plath
