    Your poems are difficult to understand,
    So many allegories and symbolic representations .
    Nevertheless your poems have that elusive beauty which pulls the reader back repeatedly.
    I am curious to know your final days.
    A beautiful and sad life...
    Reality of World can be very painful for someone so sensitive.
    So much extraordinary talent lost forever.
    Perhaps you have been reincarnated in a better world.
    We miss you Sylvia ♥️

    Being a New Englanders, just south of Boston, the New England accent is still strong by those who limit their exposure to media. I will always keep my accent. People should hold onto their accents whether from New England, Mississippi, Texas, etc. In television everyone starts sounding the same.

    She was hardly wealthy as a girl, but her mother and dad were both educated and taught at Boston University. Her Smith education parlayed with Cambridge helped create her unique and sophisticated voice. Today almost all Americans sound mainly common. We are taught ( at least sub consciously) to loathe beauty, grace, style and sophistication. We are taught to dress down, look down, talk down ( to each other) act like we all come from the dregs. I experienced the last or tail end of the best times in the USA- when even the lower middle class was able and delighted to carry themselves with class and dignity. We might not have all had money then, but we all had class!!
    Oh well- Goodnight America!
