E.E. Cummings
“Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself.”
e.e. cummings

E.E. Cummings
“en algún lugar al que nunca he viajado, gozosamente más allá
de cualquier experiencia, tus ojos tienen su silencio:
en tu gesto más frágil hay cosas que me abarcan,
o que no puedo tocar porque están demasiado cerca

tu mirada más leve me abrirá fácilmente
aunque me haya cerrado como dedos,
siempre me abres pétalo tras pétalo como la Primavera abre
(tocando hábilmente, misteriosamente) su primera rosa

o si tu deseo fuera cerrarme, yo y
mi vida nos cerraremos muy bellamente, súbitamente,
como cuando el corazón de esta flor imagina
la nieve cayendo cuidadosa por doquier;

nada que hayamos de percibir en este mundo iguala
la fuerza de tu intensa fragilidad: cuya textura
me domina con el color de sus campos,
trayendo muerte y eternidad con cada respiro

(yo no sé qué hay en ti que puede cerrar
y abrir; apenas algo en mí comprende
que la voz de tus ojos es más profunda que todas las rosas)
nadie, ni siquiera la lluvia, tiene manos tan pequeñas”
E.E. Cummings

Sylvia Plath
“To look at her, you might not guess that inside she is laughing and crying, at her own stupidities and luckiness, and at the strange enigmatic ways of the world which she will spend lifetime trying to learn and understand.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“I love him to hell and back and heaven and back, and have and do and will.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“I believe that there are people who think as I do, who have thought as I do, who will think as I do. There are those who will live, unconscious of me, but continuing my attitude, so to speak, as I continue, unknowingly, the similar attitude of those before me. I could write and write. All it takes is a motion of the hand in response to a brain impulse, trained from childhood to record in our own American brand of hieroglyphics the translations of external stimuli. How much of my brain is wilfully my own? How much is not a rubber stamp of what I have read and heard and lived? Sure, I make a sort of synthesis of what I come across, but that is all that differentiates me from another person? - - - That I have banged into and assimilated various things? That my environment and a chance combination of genes got me where I am?”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
