Additional quotes by Sylvia Plath

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.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer,
Beware.
Beware. Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

I felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I'd never seen before in my life.
