For a certain Sylvia's grave the poetess's voice is strange as an angel's, her hair, being much more persuadable than she, falling blond locks of femininity. She, understood only, by her own poems; rhythms which rest so unhappily. by Posypity.

Graves are so depressing. When I die I want to be cremated, have my ashes throw out to sea and have that be the end of it.

@QUANTUMLORD18 When we make comments such as 'he or she was a superior poet', what we are really saying is that 'I like them better' They say something that resonates deeply with our being. Ultimately we are dealing with is opinion, however refined. That said, one statment in your piece I cannot let rest is, 'Hughes was an establishment hack poet'
Hughes was- is- a towering figure in C20 English verse and he helped Sylvia find her own voice.

@19eightyseven Al Alvarez, who had the greatest respect for Sylcia, both as a poet and as a woman, said that 'we all abandoned her- she was difficult to be with'. Ted Hughes loved Sylvia and continued to do so for the rest of his life. If you look at her poetry you will see that in trying to find her voice she felt she had to sever all those links that she felt ensnared her Ted was one of this links. Look what she said about her father whom she loved very much. Nobody is to blame

Well it was kinda her fauLt
Hughes was brilliant.
I went up to Plaths grave though the other day and there were a couple of hippies there drugged out of their minds, one of them was actually sprawled across the grave laughing and trying to right herself.
Talk about a lack of respect.
