But I would rather be horizontal.
I am not a tree with my root in the soil
Sucking up minerals and motherly love
So that each March I may gleam into leaf,
Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed
Attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted,
Unknowing I must soon unpetal.
Compared with me, a tree is immortal
And a flower-head not tall, but more startling,
And I want the one's longevity and the other's daring.
Tonight, in the infinitesimal light of the stars,
The trees and the flowers have been strewing their cool odors.
I walk among them, but none of them are noticing.
Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping
I must most perfectly resemble them--
Thoughts gone dim.
It is more natural to me, lying down.
Then the sky and I are in open conversation,
And I shall be useful when I lie down finally:
Then the trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me.
Sylvia Plath
5 never more:
ADORO este poema
"Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping
I must most perfectly resemble them--
Thoughts gone dim.
It is more natural to me, lying down.
Then the sky and I are in open conversation,
And I shall be useful when I lie down finally:
Then the trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me."

p.d: Has leido "La Campana de Cristal"? A mí me gustó bastante. He buscado más cosas de ella en tiendas o bibliotecas sin éxito :(
Sim, você pode. Eu sou avesso à idéia de guestbooks. E o seu fotolog está sempre lotado.
Hm.. eu gosto muito de Literatura e Artes. Só não comento nada por meu inglês e espanhol artísticos serem "desajuizados".
:*
La verdad es que jamás me ha gustado realmente Plath. Hay algo en ella que no me alcanza. Y probablemente sea más mi culpa que suya, pero la vida no ha sido demasiado justa.
Para ser vertical, me mantendría siéndolo junto a Juarroz. Pero si tuviese que decidir realmente, sería una espiral. Oh.
Hermosa Nínfula tardía, me ha gustado su confesión fotologera de hoy... me has hecho recordar cosas feas, pérfida! ;)
Annabe!!
Pode roubar a Garota Leitora! Eu ja roubeide Van Gogh!(risos)!
To um pouco desestimulada para fotolog hoje!

Vou sair e não sei a hora que volto!
Beijos
