About This Quote
In this quote, Sylvia Plath is talking about the benefits of writing. She says that writing is good for her because it gives her a feeling of being clean and refreshed. Because she is writing about her feelings, she feels better about herself. In fact, Plath's words give us a window into how she felt after writing poems such as “The Bee Eater.” Though it appears that the hardest part of being a poet may be letting go of work that isn't ready, I think that Plath's words about the benefits of writing actually show that the hardest part is letting go of work that isn't yet done.
