The Spoken Word: Sylvia Plath by The British Library
5.0
Sylvia Plath reading some of her poems and talking about her work. And it’s wonderful how she reads them, I love her poetry that is full of stark, sharp imagery.
Extract from Candles by Sylvia Plath
They are the last romantics, these candles:
Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers,
And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.
