Anne Sexton, eterna... Este vídeo transmite gran pasión al sentirte viva... vibras, vives eternamente...

She was insane. And it allowed her to enjoy things in a way most of us can't.

[@kevinchristopher1443]

I don't think this perspective is correct on her part. She suffered from mental illness but it isn't the REASON that she was able to appreciate music and art at a high level. It may have shaped her life, but plenty of people who have their mental illness' under control are just as capable of deep creativity and understanding of artistic beauty like this. She would have been just as whole without her afflictions.

Hello ! I am wondering if we can use this video in a university project ? What about credits ? Is it free to the public domain?

[@ChangeArranger]

I don't own this, I am not an expert, and you may not need to know any longer...but for the most part, if you are using something like this strictly for educational purposes with credit given where due and without exposing it to a wider audience or making any money off it, you're fine.

She is beautiful! I'm in lust.

Beotch, music beating a poem? Nonsense off her A word alone is a poem that can move mountains where a hundred symphonies just tremor. A murmur of your voice can make me surrender while the best Chopin or Bach just numbs my meanwhiles. A kiss from your lips says my name louder than a million orchestras could ever play. The human voice, alas... that little underestimated and made mundane by most, even her, teaser, player never to stay for the Home run, you had to get lost in the outfield, did you? There's no return from a voice wasted a gift crashed, a soul broken. Speak not to me of Music when your word forfeited all. I can't hold you to it or any of it, A. you gave it away.

[@mysteryman2628]

What a pedantic comment. This is cringy dude. All you're saying is some gourmet bullshit. You're repeating the same thing "words are better than music" with your sole reasoning being " 'cause I said so" under that thickly layered metaphor. Lmao, I cannot with this shit. We will all die someday, but a legacy will live for as long as human civilization. We still read Sexton's poem, don't we? That's her legacy, the thoughts she allows us to have. Those thoughts are ours and it impacts our life. So how could you say that she wasted her gift?

[@elainetaylor8350]

Jeez…….I need a little more Bullshit dressing for your word salad!!

[@bubblegumcrisis5042]

complete word salad

[@leeohmoon231]

she is deeply unstable in a bad way :/

[@darknes5inside]

in the best way possible

[@cherrymusic5383]

And we're here for ittt

[@tammyslaughter9587]

Definitely in a bad way. It was very disturbing to read about her being sexually attracted to her eldest daughter Linda Gray, when as a child Anne would go into Linda’s room in the early hours and lay with her with her clothes off and masturbate. I used to really like her as a poet but reading her daughter’s memoir and reading Diane Middlebrooks book was just too much to take. She was an extremely privileged and self centered spoiled narcissist who sexually and physically abused her children. No thanks, I’ll stick with Sylvia Plath. Even in this clip she is describing how the music is like sex and then says it’s like her daughter Linda, kind of a red flag, because this is around the time she is sexually molesting Linda. A very sick woman indeed.

[@casual286]

I think she's great!

What's the song?

[@ernestkazevich]

Seven years later... The answer comes: Ballade No. 1, by Frederic Chopin
