Jade --
Stone of the side,
The antagonized
Side of green Adam, I
Smile, cross-legged,
Enigmatical,
Shifting my clarities.
So valuable!
How the sun polishes this shoulder!
And should
The moon, my
Indefatigable cousin
Rise, with her cancerous pallors,
Dragging trees --
Little bushy polyps,
Little nets,
My visibilities hide.
I gleam like a mirror.
At this facet the bridegroom arrives
Lord of the mirrors!
It is himself he guides
In among these silk
Screens, these rustling appurtenances.
I breathe, and the mouth
Veil stirs its curtain
My eye
Veil is
A concatenation of rainbows.
I am his.
Even in his
Absence, I
Revolve in my
Sheath of impossibles,
Priceless and quiet
Among these parrakeets, macaws!
O chatterers
Attendants of the eyelash!
I shall unloose
One feather, like the peacock.
Attendants of the lip!
I shall unloose
One note
Shattering
The chandelier
Of air that all day flies
Its crystals
A million ignorants.
Attendants!
Attendants!
And at his next step
I shall unloose
I shall unloose --
From the small jeweled
Doll he guards like a heart --
The lioness,
The shriek in the bath,
The cloak of holes.
Sylvia Plath
The first part of the poem, Plath speaks about the clarities women possess over men. Men are a thorn in the sides of women. Jade symbolizes, in many cultures, love. Men are vain and love is nothing more than an excuse for them to feel important and needed. Plath believes that many women wait for their men to change, to come to their senses in marriage, to woo them but alas nothing comes of it and because they are left empty-handed in the end they also are left with broken hearts. In the end, the woman in the poem decides to voice her troubles, her woes to her husband and no longer remain silenced.
This poem is considered by many to be a feminist piece of poetry.
