Purdah-Sylvia Plath

[00:04.191] Jade — [00:05.011] Stone of the side, [00:06.562] The antagonized [00:07.746] Side of green Adam, I [00:10.097] Smile, cross-legged, [00:12.763] Enigmatical, [00:13.941] Shifting my clarities. [00:16.601] So valuable! [00:18.262] How the sun polishes this shoulder! [00:22.418] And should [00:23.098] The moon, my [00:23.947] Indefatigable cousin [00:26.008] Rise, with her cancerous pallors, [00:28.563] Dragging trees — [00:30.202] Little bushy polyps, [00:31.566] Little nets, [00:33.247] My visibilities hide. [00:35.533] I gleam like a mirror. [00:38.772] At this facet the bridegroom arrives [00:41.543] Lord of the mirrors! [00:43.822] It is himself he guides [00:45.378] In among these silk [00:47.001] Screens, these rustling appurtenances. [00:50.462] I breathe, and the mouth [00:52.285] Veil stirs its curtain [00:54.938] My eye [00:55.750] Veil is [00:57.053] A concatenation of rainbows. [00:59.718] I am his. [01:01.975] Even in his [01:02.687] Absence, I [01:03.763] Revolve in my [01:04.967] Sheath of impossibles, [01:06.996] Priceless and quiet [01:09.470] Among these parrakeets, macaws! [01:13.367] O chatterers [01:15.641] Attendants of the eyelash! [01:17.470] I shall unloose [01:18.488] One feather, like the peacock. [01:21.581] Attendants of the lip! [01:23.622] I shall unloose [01:24.675] One note [01:25.636] Shattering [01:26.305] The chandelier [01:27.655] Of air that all day flies [01:29.686] Its crystals [01:31.167] A million ignorants. [01:33.773] Attendants of the nose! [01:36.089] The bowsprits of the Viking [01:37.948] Wallow the dull. [01:39.996] Attendants! [01:40.952] Attendants! [01:42.439] And at his next step [01:44.335] I shall unloose [01:45.618] I shall unloose — [01:47.386] From the small jeweled [01:49.224] Doll he guards like a heart — [01:52.488] The lioness, [01:53.818] The shriek in the bath, [01:56.111] The cloak of holes.
