Your clever eye is the one absolutely

Beautiful thing.

I want to fill it with colour and ducks,

The zoo of the new

Whose name you meditate-

April snowdrop, Indian pipe,

Little

Stalk without wrinkle,

Pool in which images

Should be grand and classical

Not this troubulous

Wringing of hands, this dark

Ceiling without a star

-Sylvia Plath, “Child”
