Crossing the Water is a 1971 posthumous collection of poetry by Sylvia Plath that was prepared for publication by Ted Hughes. These poems were written at the same time as those that appear in Ariel. Crossing the Water continues to push the envelope between dark and light, between our deep passions and desires that are often in tension with our duty to family and society. Water becomes a metaphor for the surface veneer that many of us carry, but Plath explores how easily this surface can be shaken and disturbed.

Quotes

  • Svetlana Videnovhas quoted4 years ago
    Now silence after silence offers itself.

    The wind stops my breath like a bandage.
  • Svetlana Videnovhas quoted4 years ago
    Skin doesn’t have roots, it peels away easy as paper.

    When I grin, the stitches tauten.
  • Svetlana Videnovhas quoted4 years ago
    Of people the air only

    Remembers a few odd syllables.

    It rehearses them moaningly:

    Black stone, black stone.
