The Line: "I hadn't, at the last moment, felt like washing off the two diagonal lines of dried blood that marked my cheeks. They seemed touching, and rather spectacular, and I thought I would carry them around with me, like the relic of a dead lover, till they wore off of their own accord" (108).

Sylvia Plath is
officially the coolest
dead woman ever.
 
Comments:
i love her so much,
except for the part where she
kills herself with gas.
 
Anne Sexton once called
her suicide "the death I
wanted so badly."
