I am sure there are things that can’t be cured by a good bath but I can’t think of one.

Signs and Wonders - symbolism and imagery in contemporary art

Ophelia

             Her clothes spread wide;              

              And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:        

              Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;    

              As one incapable of her own distress,      

              Or like a creature native and indued

              Unto that element: but long it could not be          

              Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,      

              Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay     180        

              To muddy death.   William Shakespeare

Painting by Annie Stegg

“I have stitched life into me like a rare organ.”

— Sylvia Plath

A villanelle written by Sylvia Plath while studying English Literature at Smith College in 1953. Funny enough, I studied History at Smith College and had the honor of holding Plath’s personal textbooks in our college’s rare books room collection.

I adore this poem. It’s obviously geared towards young (silly) love or infatuation or desire or loneliness.
