More From Sylvia Plath

A bad dream.to the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.a bad dream.i remembered everything.i remembered the cadavers and doreen and the story of the fig-tree and marco's diamond and the sailor on the common and doctor gordon's wall-eyed nurse and the broken thermometers and the negro with his two kinds of beans and the twenty pounds i gained on insulin and the rock that bulged between sky and sea like a grey skull.maybe forgetfulness, like a kind snow, should numb and cover them.but they were part of me. they were my landscape

About 60% of the people stopped when we had 24 jams on display and then at the times when we had 6 different flavors of jam out on display only 40% of the people actually stopped, so more people were clearly attracted to the larger varieties of options, but then when it came down to buying, so the second thing we looked at is in what case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. what we found was that of the people who stopped when there were 24 different flavors of jam out on display only 3% of them actually bought a jar of jam whereas of the people who stopped when there were 6 different flavors of jam 30% of them actually bought a jar of jam.

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.

I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.

I was a bartender for a long time, so i know how to make drinks, but i'm more likely to offer them than to have them. i think this is one of the reasons why i get to live longer than my great-grandmother did, and why i get to produce more writing than she did, and why my marriage isn't in dire straits.
