When your past speaks....

I was reading back through some old quizzes from the early days of my LJ, and...apparently this was a quiz result:

Mad Girl's Love Song
By Sylvia Plath

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Wow. It's like they know me.....

Poetry knows all of us, I suspect.

No doubt. Though I'll confess myself a bit surprised to have been matched with Plath, even though this one sort of fits. Not, or course, that I would have noticed *cough* years ago, when I apparently first took the quiz and got this result (being a bit callow back then).
