The Bell Jar

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; 

I lift my eyes and all is born again.” 

Sylvia Plath

The Collected Poem

“Stephen kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

And never kissed at all.

Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest,

Robin’s lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin’s eyes

Haunts me night and day.” 

~Sara Teasdale

Freud

“Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.” 

Sigmund Freud
