  • on Ariel by Sylvia Plath, on November 29, 2007
    I'm currently studying this poem for a presentation in my English class, and it really is amazing how many mythological references she managed to cram into one poem. There are references here to the Little Mermaid (the myth, not the Disney version), Lady Godiva, the Nix, the archangel Ariel (usually known as Uriel), the Rusalka and many other besides, as well as describing a horse ride which may or may not have happened in a dream. I love this poem!
