Ah you should give Plath a try. If you want to ' The Moon & the Yew Tree' and 'Sheep in Fog' and 'You're' are favourites....and of course through all her poetry you can play spot the Manic references! Bloody loads ha. I have her collected letters and journals but God knows how she managed to write the sheer amount she did in such a short life cos I'm sure I'd need ways more years to read through them all. I love Ted Hughes work too, it's hard to beat Full Moon and Little Frieda .... I may digress but good to have a breather....

There is a rapture on the lonely shore
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more," - Byron
'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
