Poesin Ella läser, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson och Edith Södergran, är en underbart fin ram kring berättelsen. Ända sen jag hörde titeln första gången har jag velat läsa boken och jag blev inte besviken. Smärtan och hoppet illustreras perfekt av de här två dikterna av Emily Dickinson:
PAIN has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.
Frequently the woods are pink —
Frequently the woods are pink —
Frequently are brown.
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
Oft a head is crested
I was wont to see —
And as oft a cranny
Where it used to be —
And the Earth — they tell me —
On its Axis turned!
Wonderful Rotation!
By but twelve performed!
Frequently are brown.
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
Oft a head is crested
I was wont to see —
And as oft a cranny
Where it used to be —
And the Earth — they tell me —
On its Axis turned!
Wonderful Rotation!
By but twelve performed!
