the earthenware head - sylvia plath كلمات أغنية

fired in sanguine clay, the model head
fit nowhere: brickdust_complected, eye under a dense lid
on the long bookshelf it stood
stolidly propping thick volumes of prose: spite_set
ape of her look. best rid
hearthstone at once of the outrageous head;
still, she felt loath to junk it

no place, it seemed, for the effigy to fare
free from all molesting. rough boys
spying a pate to spare
glowering sullen and pompous from an ash_heap
might wеll seize this prize
maltrеat the hostage head in shocking wise
and waken the sly nerve up

that knits to each original its co_rs_ copy. a dark tarn
she thought of then, thick_silted, with weeds obscured
to serve her exacting turn:
but out of the watery aspic, laureled by fins
the simulacrum leered
lewdly beckoning, and her courage wavered:
she blenched, as one who drowns

and resolved more ceremoniously to lodge
the mimic head—in a crotched willow, green_
vaulted by foliage:
let bell_tongued birds descant in blackest feather
on the rendering, grain by grain
of that uncouth shape to simple sod again
through drear and dulcet weather
yet, shrined on her shelf, the grisly visage endured
despite her wrung hands, her tears, her praying: vanish!
steadfast and evil_starred
it ogled through rock_fault, wind_flaw and fisted wave—
an antique hag_head, too tough for knife to finish
refusing to diminish
by one jot its basilisk_look of love
