I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of new york, for near unto an hour, and i felt myself growing pure again. i don't believe in baptism or the waters of jordan or anything like that, but i guess i feel about a hot bath the way those religious people feel about holy water.

More From Sylvia Plath

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

They always gives me bath salts," complained nobby. "and bath soap and bubble bath and herbal bath lumps and tons of bath stuff and i can't think why, 'cos it's not as if i hardly ever has a bath. you'd think they'd take the hint, wouldn't you?

You might as well baptize a bag of sand as a man, if not done in view of the remission of sins and getting of the holy ghost. baptism by water is but half a baptism, and is good for nothing without the other half-that is, baptism of the holy ghost.

As a good christian should consider every place as holy, because god is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto god. the profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. but worldly business is to be made holy unto the lord, by being done as a service unto him, and in conformity to his divine will.

In new york, i was excited about the music in new york because the only music that i was more or less involved with in the south was either country and western or hillbilly music as we used to call it when i was a kid and, ah, gospel. there was no, there was no in between. and when i got to new york all the other musics that's in the world just came into my head whether it was the classics, jazz, i never knew what jazz was about all, had heard anything about jazz.

Anthony weiner deserves to be supported and hopefully he will be mayor of new york one day. i'm serious. he is a democrat [who] actually fights for the things liberals and progressive and rational people care about. i don't know why he's being thrown under the bus. he hasn't done any - he hasn't broke any laws.
