It’s amazing how badly she read her own verse

the effect of being taken care of by nurses and of drugs on one's mind cannot be taken lightly.

It's amazing how much I can relate to what she said here...especially after I visited the Alexander Fleming Museum. The discovery of penicillin was a huge thing back then.

I so agree that music in Millay's verse is part of its fervent charm; a key reason for its longevity. It's up for each generation to best determine its sound for themselves. Here is my particular take on this verse: ua-cam.com/video/zVe4l8Ke7ew/v-deo.html There are 42 slices of Millay on my channel - SO FAR at least. (There is a dedicated playlist). I, for one, delight in it.

Over many years I have empathised, smiled and been moved to tears over the poetry of Sylvia Plath and I greatly admire her poetic gift, tragically cut short too soon. However, as with the work of many other poets I cannot hear them read by their creator without feeling greatly disappointed. The words seem to sound cold, wooden and plodding, without emotion or dramatic passion and, puzzlingly, the flow from one unpunctuated line to the next is missing as the reader seems to halt before going on as if there is a full stop. I really feel that the best way to listen to poems is to have them read by actors. Their natural gifts and dramatic training can convey all the passion and drama of the words that the reader has experienced when first encountering the poem. I would be interested to know if any one else feel this way. ❤❤

😅wtf

S=Solitary Y=Yearnings L=Lonely V=Vulnerable I=Innocent A=Artist Sylvia♥️ Your poems are difficult to understand, So many allegories and symbolic representations . Nevertheless your poems have that elusive beauty which pulls the reader back repeatedly. I am curious to know your final days. A beautiful and sad life... Reality of World can be very painful for someone so sensitive. So much extraordinary talent lost forever. Perhaps you have been reincarnated in a better world. We miss you Sylvia ♥️ Grace 💐

love

I love this wonderful woman's beautiful, clever, eye-opening and very, very sharp and funny!❤

Finally there's an academic account of this poem (in the journal ANQ). The limousine can be read in more ways than one, it seems...

One of the few recordings of Mrs. Parker's distinctive voice.

Hard to believe she was only 30 when she left this realm. Rest in paradise, chica. Soar where the finches never drop from the sky.

Oh, Dottie, you're sublime. 🔥

To listen to her original voice...so New England in its dialect. I love her poems. She is intense. Love intensity where it matters.

I'm going to say my first impression is that Sylvia sounds much older than she really is. She sounds like a stuffy 60 year old lady. Reminds of a strict old teacher I used to have.

A priceless treasure, thank you. ❤

joan of arc fabulous silent film and thank you for the videos

My mother loved this poem and used to recite it in a New York accent which somehow makes it better. I recited it at work once and a co-worker actually identified it as Dorothy Parker. Was this at some university you ask. No it was when I worked at a grocery store. You never know what people know.

I love Edna St Vincent Millay, and this is one of my favorite poems! Wonderful to hear her read it! Thank you for posting it!

You cut pork... Then you suicide

Priceless! Conforms to the mind set of every gold-digger which is timeless. Just like Dorothy Parker. Simple but it says it!

These people at this beach in Yorkshire knew how to make the best of a rainy day. This woman was always depressed.......even when the sun was shining. 😂 Her poems and books depressed me. She was an energy sucker. No positive source within herself.

She can hardly breath........very obsessive personality.

After listening to this, I begin to understand Why I've never heard of Ms Edna!

Thank you 💙 for this To hear her , makes me realize that it wasn't a bleak poem at all, what wit Ms. Plath writ with"

This was the first Plath poem I ever read when I was a teenager. I absolutely adore Sylvia's voice, so listening to her read her own words is such a treat! It has such a rich, warm, and forthright tone to it. It reminds me of Lauren Bacall who commanded the silver screen with unshakable confidence. Sylvia Plath was a woman of extraordinary depth, complexity, and talent. May she be remembered for her powerful words forevermore. ❤

I think she was imbued with whatever spirit took Dylan Thomas. And not just the booze. They were two of a kind really.

I save this lady for the end of the world, Time is coming and time to know you for the end Sylvia, GOD SPEED

I wish I was there and had stopped her.

How did she become so well known? I get the impression she was from a privileged family and had nymphomaniac tendencies

Transatlantic heaven!👑

Before her time. She died when I was in elementary school, but part of me knows her pain.

She gives each word it's due and they become precious in their singularity then strung together sentences become a necklace of gems. Thank you Sylvia for these fine gifts.

Omg she did sound drunk, I mean, she was an alcoholic but didn't expect her to sound like this, I always thought it was just the actress Jennifer Jason Leigh who sounded obnoxious in her own way for the role, now I realize she did a great job portraying her.

Magnificent

Why does she speak with a british accent? 🤨

<3 her. My favorite thing to say at work: "What fresh Hell is this?"

I like the way she killed herself. What a poetic death.

Love her so much! Interim will always be my favorite 💓

LOL

I think her poetry, and Tulips, are brilliant! Touch nerves. Poetry is not to make you feel good, but to reach places in all of us, that we are afraid to reach. Plath does it with the most magnificent prose and imagery , like none other.

i find her matters, meaning most everything about her in excess fascinating... her voice is so beautiful, with so many emotional nuisances to the strenght behind it.

I’m reading it too and loving every minute!

It's literally like a play

Channeling

Theatrical presentation She was an actress who performed at Vassar and other placed after graduation.

Wow! What a beautifully articulate woman. Her point about English children having to fit into the adults world instead of adults bending over backwards to fit into their children’s is well-taken.

Sounds like Dorothy tried a few of those methods, “don’t” it?
