LONDON — In a final coda to one of literature's great doomed romances, a previously unseen poem by Ted Hughes was published Thursday in which he describes the dark last days leading up to Sylvia Plath's suicide.
"Last Letter" was unearthed in an archive of papers in the British Library belonging to Hughes, the late English poet laureate, and has been printed for the first time by New Statesman magazine.
Hughes sheds new light on the three days in February 1963 that ended with his American wife gassing herself at age 30 after they separated, beginning the poem with the words: "What happened that night? Your final night."
Oh and did you know 6 years after Plath died, the woman who left with Ted- Assia Wevill- also killed herself and their daughter.Plus, Nicholas Hughes (Sylvia's son) killed himself last year too.
I can't help but judge alright, Frieda's (Sylvia's daughter) thrice divorced fyi.
Hey Ted, you're still a douchebag.
