Have always been a bit hesitant to read The Bell Jar. Any tips/experiences, folks?
Ft. Pretty handmade bookmark from my friend to help with it❤️
“I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

pickSylvia Plath reading some of her poems and talking about her work. And it‘s wonderful how she reads them, I love her poetry that is full of stark, sharp imagery.
Extract from Candles by Sylvia Plath
--------------
They are the last romantics, these candles:
Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers,
And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.

“What does a woman see in a woman that she can‘t see in a man?”
Doctor Nolan paused. Then she said, “Tenderness.”
That shut me up.
“But I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure at all. How did I know that someday―at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere―the #bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again.”

It‘s time for a reread…
