"All you beauty, all your wit, is a gift, my dear ... From me" - Sylvia Plath, Soliloquy of the Solipsist, 1956
Tree and stone glittered, without shadows. My finger-length grew lucent as glass. I started to bud like a March twig: An arm and a leg, an arm, a leg. From stone to cloud, so I ascended. Now I resemble a sort of god Floating through the air in my soul-shift Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.
- Sylvia Plath, Love Letter, 1960What would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance... And if you were with me tonight, I'd sing to you just one more time. A song for a heart so big, god wouldn't let it live.
- Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World), Hear You Me, 2001"Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed Oh I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light" - Regina Spektor, Samson, 2007
