love is a parallax for which i still have a crazy fondness.

and tale of a tub, also by sylvia plath, is probably the current infatuation.

there are other authors (although i tend to be wary of poets), but if you really want my favorite these two are them. :)

The Tyger

by William Blake

[lucidflux]

"When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears"

[cakoluchiam]

'Tiger, Tiger burning bright in the forests of the night.' Blake wrote that. Apparently the tiger was on fire. How strange.

this poem haunts me.

not in that i can't forget it, but that it won't be forgotten. it's attacked from both lit textbooks i've had to buy and it comes before a few of the vampire books by amelia atwater-rhodes (is her name as i recall it). it even grabbed my ankle while i was looking through an anthology to see if i'd forgotten a favorite.
