'listen to me: there are a few times when out of the marble-and-mud that is life there is one layer of solid marble. there are a few times when the songs that are written, the poems that are written, the plays that are written, come alive. by accident you fall onto a stage-set put aside for a tragedy for the lesser gods, and you utter words that were in the script written in the leaves and in the grass for some heroic cast.'
-- sylvia plath, journals, 16 march 1951.
'almost everyone jumps from the eastern side of the bridge, facing the lights of san francisco.'
