Ariel
"Elm" http://www.angelfire.com/tn/plath/elm.html
Quelle: Ariel (1965)
Kontext: p>I am inhabited by a cry.
Nightly it flaps out
Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.</p
“Everything people did seemed so silly, because they only died in the end.”
