“Ted: A fucking good poem is a weapon.
It's-- and not like a--
a popgun or something.
- It's a bomb.
It's like a bloody big bomb.
Sylvia: That’s why they make children
learn them in school.
They don't want them messing about
with them on their own.
I mean, just imagine
if a sonnet went off accidentally.
Boom.”
― Sylvia: The Shooting Script

“Sometimes I dream the tree, and the tree is my life. One branch is the man I shall marry, and the leaves my children. Another branch is my future as a writer, and each leaf is a poem. Another branch is a good academic career. But as I sit there trying to choose, the leaves bring to turn brown and blow away, until the tree is absolutely bare.”
