    Sylvia Plath
    “The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper,

    Sylvia Plath
    “Although, I admit, I desire,
    Occasionally, some backtalk
    From the mute sky, I can't honestly complain:
    A certain minor light may still
    Lean incandescent

    Out of kitchen table or chair
    As if a celestial burning took
    Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then -- ”

    Maira Kalman
    “Soon enough it will be me struggling (valiantly?) to walk - lugging my stuff around. How are we all so brave as to take step after step? Day after day? How are we so optimistic, so careful not to trip and yet do trip, and then get up and say O.K. Why do I feel so sorry for everyone and so proud?”
