What a fascinating way to depict life through her eyes, through an object. Unbiased yet able to see everything, a mirror, no matter what kind, is the true documenter of life. Even as a lake, as Plath describes, it sees all. I would imagine if a mirror could speak, it would not only convey these events but I would picture it conveying a sense of sadness, and a desire to shrink away and close its eyes for a moment, just to be blind to the world for a little while, just as we all can do. I feel as if Plath is saying we should be lucky to have the gift of closing our eyes to tear ourselves away from the grief life has to offer.
