The original, handwritten outline of chapters for The Bell Jar.

[Sylvia Plath @sylviaplath__]

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.

[Sylvia Plath @sylviaplath__]

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.

[Sylvia Plath @sylviaplath__]

[Sylvia Plath @sylviaplath__]

I want to talk to everybody as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.

[Sylvia Plath @sylviaplath__]

Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is most becoming?
