Sylvia Plath

Still looking for a painter and decorator.  Took four pair of shoes to the Shoe Bank, and two more sacks of books and DVDs to the Book Bank - still endeavouring to get thousands of books down to hundreds! Found I had two copies of Sylvia Plath's biography - a soft cover and a hard cover. I kept the soft cover because it had a more colourful jacket. I looked for suitable lines of hers to include here - without success because just as I thought I'd found something heart-lifting the next words proved a bit dour. That is, except for one about the cry of her baby waking up during the night:
  "Your handful of notes;
  The clear vowels rise like balloons."
