Notes from a small island A weblog by Jonathan Ali |
Tuesday, February 11, 2003 Thy strong arms are around me, love My head is on thy breast; Low words of comfort come from thee Yet my soul has no rest. For I am but a startled thing Nor can I ever be Aught save a bird whose broken wing Must fly away from thee. . . . - From the poem "Worn Out" by Elizabeth Siddal, wife of the poet and artist Dante Rossetti. Siddal committed suicide on February 11 in 1862. 101 years later to the day, Sylvia Plath also took her own life. posted by Jonathan | 8:50 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
