The title poem begins “Stasis in darkness/ Then the substanceless blue/ Pour of tor and distances.” This sets the scene for a naked ride  on horseback in the early morning— one of Plath’s most memorable expressions of the elation of creative freedom.
Naslovna pjesma započinje stihovima: „Zastoj u tami / Zatim bestjelesna plavet / grli humke i daljine.” Ta nas scena priprema za nagu ranojutarnju jahačicu – jedan od Plathinih najupečatljivijih izraza zanosa kreativne slobode.
