I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story

sylviaplathink

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn’t quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

–Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (1963), Chapter Seven

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of Sylvia Plath’s death! RIP!

(27 October 1932, Boston, USA – 11 February 1963, London, UK)

...

Here is my second Sylvia Plath tattoo as a tribute to some of her most well-known and my favorite poems - “Tulips” and the bee poem sequence, especially “Wintering” and “Stings” - done by the incredibly talented Minmal Gdańsk at Sztorm Tattoo in Gańsk Wrzeszcz, Poland - my beautiful old home town, just a few streets away from where I used to live more than thirty years ago 😍

...

"The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.

[…]

The tulips should be behind bars like dangerous animals; They are opening like the mouth of some great African cat, And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me."

..

"The bees are all women, Maids and the long royal lady. They have got rid of the men,

The blunt, clumsy stumblers, the boors. Winter is for women ----

[…]

The bees are flying. They taste the spring."

..

"but I Have a self to recover, a queen. Is she dead, is she sleeping? Where has she been, With her lion-red body, her wings of glass?

Now she is flying More terrible than she ever was, red Scar in the sky, red comet Over the engine that killed her ---- The mausoleum, the wax house."

...

I got my first Sylvia Plath inspired tattoo back in 2021 and knew that I wanted another one, but I made the decision to get a tulip and a bee when I saw his Instagram and fell in love with his minimalistic style.

Additionally, this tattoo means a lot to me because it was done in the city I was born in and spent the first half of my childhood. It is a reminder of my home and my roots, a souvenir I will carry with me forever.

I am really in awe how beautiful it turned out!

It's definitely not my last Sylvia Plath tattoo!
