I lift my eyes and all is born again.”

“Is it the sea you hear in me?
Its dissatisfactions?
Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness?

Love is a shadow.
How you lie and cry after it.

― Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition

“I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me.”
