Quoted from: Sylvia Plath, Aurelia Schober Plath, ed., Letters Home: Correspondence 1950-1963 (New York: HarperPerennial, 1992), p.203-5. [Nice, France January 7, 1956] --Sylvia Plath To Vence-small, on a sun-warmed hill, uncommercial, slow, peaceful. Walked to Matisse cathedral- Small, pure, clean-cut. White, with blue tile roof Sparkling in the sun. But shut! Only open to public two days a week. A kindly talkative peasant told me stories Of how rich people came daily in large cars From Italy, Germany, Sweden, etc., And were not admitted, Even for large sums of Money. I was desolate and wandered to the back of the walled nunnery, Where I could see a corner of the Chapel and sketched it, Feeling like Alice outside the garden, watching the white doves and orange trees. Then I went back to the front and stared With my face through the barred gate. I began to cry. I knew it was so lovely inside, Pure white with the sun Through the blue, yellow, and green stained windows. Then I heard a voice, "Ne pleurez plus, entrez," And the Mother Superior let me in, After denying all the wealthy people in cars. I just knelt in the heart of sun And the colors of sky, sea, and sun, In the pure white heart of the Chapel. "Vous être si gentille," I stammered. The nun smile. "C'est la miséricorde de Dieu." It was love. --
