Dagens dikt: Cinderella av Sylvia Plath

Tja. Det är ingen hemlighet att jag älskar Sylvia Plaths dikter med stor passion. Här är en till som är alldeles underbar.

The whole revolving tall glass palace hall
Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;
Rose candles flicker on the lilac wall
Reflecting in a million flagons’ shine,

And glided couples all in whirling trance
Follow holiday revel begun long since,
Until near twelve the strange girl all at once
Guilt-stricken halts, pales, clings to the prince

As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk
She hears the caustic ticking of the clock.
