Just that the reason for re-reading Plath had nothing to do with her son's death.<BR/>Lori,<BR/>I appreciate. Especially that I still wonder in what measure the quote from Rilke is actually breaking the flow and if it would not make more sense to use an English translation...Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611955404994410354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659753466351932668.post-80282930154030446162009-03-30T16:43:00.000-04:002009-03-30T16:43:00.000-04:00I like the meter of this.

If you had not told me you didn't know about her son's death, I would still think it's a beautiful tribute to Plath's work. It is. The language works very well, and I love the flow of the lines.

And somehow it holds a tone all the way through, even when the language changes. I want to say there is a real European-ness to it, the whole piece comes from a tradition and extends it.
