[bitesizedpoetry]

Sylvia Plath, aged 30, in a letter to poet W.S. Merwin, 4 months after discovering her husband's infidelity, and their subsequent separation (dated Thursday, 8 November 1962)

[Ted Hughes (aged 32) - her husband, who was having an affair with Assia Wevill (aged 35), a married woman who rented their London flat; Sylvia was living with their children (a 2-year-old daughter & a 9-month-old son) at Court Green, their house in Devon; WS Merwin - was their daughter's godfather, but he "turned [his] back" on Sylvia after her separation with Ted, when they were actually starting to be amicable again]
