lirik lagu the earthenware head - sylvia plath
fired in sanguine clay, the model head
fit nowhere: brickdust~complected, eye under a dense lid
on the long bookshelf it stood
stolidly propping thick volumes of prose: spite~set
ape of her look. best rid
hearthstone at once of the outrageous head;
still, she felt loath to junk it
no place, it seemed, for the effigy to fare
free from all molesting. rough boys
spying a pate to spare
glowering sullen and pompous from an ash~heap
might wеll seize this prize
maltrеat the hostage head in shocking wise
and waken the sly nerve up
that knits to each original its co~rs~ copy. a dark tarn
she thought of then, thick~silted, with weeds obscured
to serve her exacting turn:
but out of the watery aspic, laureled by fins
the simulacrum leered
lewdly beckoning, and her courage wavered:
she blenched, as one who drowns
and resolved more ceremoniously to lodge
the mimic head—in a crotched willow, green~
vaulted by foliage:
let bell~tongued birds descant in blackest feather
on the rendering, grain by grain
of that uncouth shape to simple sod again
through drear and dulcet weather
yet, shrined on her shelf, the grisly visage endured
despite her wrung hands, her tears, her praying: vanish!
steadfast and evil~starred
it ogled through rock~fault, wind~flaw and fisted wave—
an antique hag~head, too tough for knife to finish
refusing to diminish
by one jot its basilisk~look of love
