Dear Shaun,

How brave of you, considering your exploration on the subject. Bravo and best of luck!

I wonder about Sylvia. It seems she was hoodwinked by the society of the time. Poor girl.

And what a tragedy for Princess Margaret. I always felt sorry for her.

I’m relieved none of my husbands had such high expectations as some of these guys.

Though I can’t help but wonder if Sylvia Plath was working from a happy place given her grisly demise 😅

Me & mine have been together & married for so long it feels like layers of strata piled up forever. Rock solid….despite the on going & severe climate change.

Thank you for a beautifully curated post. I am most in solidarity with Rilke, I think. There is a great deal of truth in there.
