"If I lived by the sea I would never be really sad. I get an immense sense of eternity and peace from the ocean. I can lose myself in staring at it hour after hour."
--Sylvia Plath, from a letter to her mother Aurelia Schober Plath, 18 July 1951, The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume I: 1940-1956

Just finished reading kafka's 'letter to my father' and can't stop thinking how crazy publishing an author's journals/letters after their death actually is. I mean I'll still be reading cuz i'm nosy but I doubt kafka wanted the world to read about his daddy issues 😭

"My fingers are so full of amazing news to type that I hardly know where to begin. First of all, you better stop what you are doing and be very quiet and sit down with a tall glass of cool lager and be read to keep a huge and miraculous secret: your sister, as of 1:30 p.m. June 16th in London at the 250 year old church of St. George the Martyr is now a married woman! Mrs. Sylvia Hughes, Mrs. Ted Hughes, Mrs. Edward James Hughes, Mrs. E. J. Hughes (wife of the internationally known poet and genius): take your pick. It is really true."
--from The Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume 1: 1940-1956, a letter to her brother Warren Plath, written on Monday, 18 June 1956
Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes first met on 25 February 1956 at party in Cambridge, England. They married only four months later on 16 June 1956 at St George the Martyr, Holborn, London in honor of Bloomsday with Plath‘s mother Aurelia being the only wedding guest. They have been married for six years and four months until Plath died by suicide on 11 February 1963.
Even though they have been separated for four months since October 1962, they never got a divorce. Maybe today would have been their 68th anniversary, if they were alive and stayed together. However, despite Ted Hughes later claiming that they were about to reconcile, they were, more likely, heading for a divorce.
