i shut my eyes


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

I believe it's a Sylvia Plath quote. Taylor was in the in-character chat and said she said the same thing to her.


But good news to the Sarah fans, since her myspace was updated it means the character is probably still active

Thanks a lot for pointing this out, Haether. I wonder what it means, though. Is she depressed?

maybe...or they're just trying to make her sound more emo.

It is Sylvia PLath, but I think it's slightly wrong? Shouldn't it be lift my lids?

Google test says both
AH, here it is:

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.)"

and emo fave, apparently. Seriously people, red and black webpage? can we say "trite"?

Sylvia Plath is not emo. Emo implies whiney annoying teenage boys who wish they had girlfriends. Sylvia Plath is a literary and poetic genius.

Sorry, done ranting.

someone ought to tell the emo kids that

Plenty of people have, but emo kids have selective hearing.
