“People or stars
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel

“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.

--from "Elm", written 19 April 1962”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition

“How we need another soul to cling to.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“You smile.
No, it is not fatal.

--from "The Other", written 2 July 1962”
― Sylvia Plath, Ariel: The Restored Edition
