Today, he is nursed at his rambling seaside refuge in Lyme Regis by Sarah, 20 years his junior , an old friend of Elizabeth's.
Sylvia Plath’s ‘Morning Song’ is one of the constituent poems of her final anthology ‘Ariel’ written before she committed suicide. The collection was composed in a seemingly manic surge coinciding with a period of anguish and rage concerning her traumatic impending divorce with her British husband and poet Ted Hughes. He left for another woman, leaving Sylvia with their two children. In her rather short poem ‘Morning Song’ Plath employs many poignant images to convey a disconcerted ambience of disillusionment concerning her maternal experience. The poem may be referred to as a confessional poem in the sense that it emphasises visceral and intimate emotions and personal details of Sylvia Plath’s life in a seemingly unflattering manner.

That had a very large impact on my life. I was in a stage of self-denigration.
