...you are the moving epitome of all this. Of you, by you, for you. God, i this all it is, the ricocheting down the corridor of laughter and tears? of self-worship and self-loathing? of glory and disgust?

Sylvia Palth

The books, all that you would fill your rainy days with, line the shelves; friendly, fingered volumes. So I sit here, smiling as i think in my fragments way: Woman is but an engine of ecstasy, a mimic of the earth from the ends of her curled hair to her red-lacquered nails. Then I think, remembering the family of beautiful children upstairs: Itsn't it better to give in to the pleasant cycles of reproduction, the easy, comforting presence of a man around the house? -The Journals of Sylvia Palth

I've got to have something. I want to stop it all, the whole monumental grotesque joke, before it's too late. But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good. The big men are all deaf; they don't want to hear the little squeaking as they walk across the street in cleated boots.
