“There is a charge
For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart -

And there is a charge, a very large charge,
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood
Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.
--from "Lady Lazarus", written 23-29 October 1962”
― Ariel: The Restored Edition

“Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.”
