“I was ten when they buried you.
At twenty I tried to die
And get back, back, back to you.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life. What do you do after you are world-famous and nineteen or twenty and you have sat with prime ministers, kings and queens, the Pope? What do you do after that? Do you go back home and take a job? What do you do to keep your sanity? You come back to the real world.”
