Romanticherie

Ma figlia mia, una cosa al mondo che ti consola c’è?
Mi consolano… e strofina un petalo fra due dita… le romanticherie.
Fa’ attenzione, mordono.

Sexton, Plath e Lowell al Ritz

Ted Hughes and his wife (Sylvia Plath) are in Boston this year (he is an english poet) and they are going to Yaddo for 2 months next fall. She wants to know what it’s like if you can drink and etc. She’ s going to Lowell’s class along with George Starbuck (poet) (and publisher at Houghton Mifflin) and we three leave the class and go to the Ritz and drink martinis. Very fun.
